This doesn't belong to the pacman mailing list (I'm forwarding to
arch-dev-public and arch-general), but I'll summarize what will probably
happen: Separate debug repositories won't happen - we can't even put
split packages into different repositories, so it is unlikely that we'll
support separate debug repositories - and I don't see the need. Even if
the db sizes double, we are still way under 5MB per db, which is a
reasonable size considering our users' bandwidth nowadays.

Allan stated that he'll add a glibc-debug package to core, and it is
also likely that KDE will get debug packages in extra (they have been
requested a few times).
