There has been many discussions and requests for separate debug symbol packages, even people offering to implement modifications needed for separate debug repos. But now, several years later, debug packages did not happen. I couldn't even find a definitive answer why there couldn't be debug packages in the official repos. So, why are there no debug packages (not even for the commonly requested ones like KDE and glibc)?
