+1 generally

only few people need any debug-infos
if they need - they can install package-debug
do NOT BLOAT the whole distribution for more or less nothing

5-10% bigger - one may say "these days hard-disks are cheap"
this is bullshit. in virtual environments with 50,100,500 instances
on expensive SAN-storages NOTHING is cheap and you havve to add
backups to the install size, mostly mutiplied....
