FWIW, I'd be looking forward to have CTF in our distro binaries shipped by 
default, it might obviate the need for separate -debuginfo packages, you'd 
get somewhat useful analysis capabilities even without them then.

So, I'm very happy about someone investing into getting CTF onto linux; I 
considered doing that myself on and off, just never could bring myself 
to start ;-)


Ciao,
Michael.
