>From what I understand, this is impossible. Installing debug symbols requires a significant
amount of space and will also cause a probably noticeably performance drop. It's not
needed really anyway. From what I understand, the user posts the core dump, developer uses
apport-retrace, grabs the .ddebs, and reproduces the backtrace _with_ debugging symbols on their box.
