And debuginfo.rpm exists in repositories only for the single latest release (this is a distro bug!). Therefore if the crashed program has been updated in repositories since it started there is no way to map build-id -> nvr. There should exist Fedora global database simply mapping all build-id -> nvr pair even for old packages. Such server should be simple/small/cheap. Currently ABRT can at least run `rpm -qf MAIN_EXECUTABLE ALL_GDB_INFO_SHARED_DISPLAYED LIBRARIES FILENAMES' and report these nvrs in the Bugzilla bugreport before such build-id -> nvr server is deployed.
