I'm personally not a fan of bloating packages even by 10% or whatever for debug symbols that many users don't need.
Me neither.
As I said above, split debug packages need "dbscripts" support to make sure they are correctly handled by our repository-building scripts. If dbscripts supported it, we could enable the debug option in devtools' makepkg.conf and start building all packages with debug info. (Patches welcome!)
I wouldn't be opposed to have something like tecken [0] or some other software for this (not sure if there is one) where we would upload all the symbol artifacts for Arch built packages and that users could use when needed. This wouldn't require changing neither dbscripts nor devtools, but it would be helpful if devtools had some function to facilitate this. This solution wouldn't bloat neither our packages nor our mirrors and would be useful to all Arch users. Of course, we could keep only the last X number of versions on this service, I don't see the point in having something like the Arch Linux Archive where we try to preserve everything.
