 In my opinion abrtd should not download any debuginfo's on the users
machine - zero. As long as the developers have the debuginfo the
tracebacks are useful - so there's no point in forcing users (devs can
download whatever they need) to download any debugging.

  That said, Alan Cox mentioned in a different thread that there is a
version of abrtd which sends the data to a server (which has all
debuginfo files) to analyze - that is better in my view.
