Why do you suggest to use a different repository to debug packages instead of pushing them directly to existing repositories. Users will not suffers of having debug packages into main repositories. I see difficulties in bandwidth needed to push package (for dev/tu) and in storage space in all our mirror around the world. Having a separate debug repository doesnt' address this. -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer https://www.seblu.net GPG: 0x2072D77A
