A package debug which isn’t installed by default is a tool which must be as useful as possible for me. In past there was a situation where I needed to use strace to debug an application which should not be run as root (GUI application). Installing a debug package and then still needing to fiddle more (relax more settings) seems not useful for me. In Linux Kernel Runtime Guard (LKRG) - Linux Kernel Runtime Integrity Checking and Exploit Detection - #26 by Patrick I experienced a hard to debug issue which required serial console and SysRq. It wasn’t easy to set up a debug environment to gather any useful output. If it’s already hard for me as a developer, than I can only imagine how hard it would be for advanced users or new developers trying to debug something. Therefore there need to be strong development tools. A trigger someone can pull (superroot) sudo apt install debug to have access to unrestricted debugging. To debug something isn’t the most visible, rewarding task anyhow but having roadblocks on the way makes it even less likely someone could be bothered to look.
Indeed.
