Just giving a feedback I have never agreed with this feature, there were many
mails by me (and others) with subject /minidebuginfo/i:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-May/thread.html
And some Fedora developers still disagree with this (accepted now) feature.
In summary the countercase is that build-id (already present in Fedora)
supersedes this "large" .gnu_debugdata data pack. But people and their use
cases differ a lot and sometimes this or that feature fits better.
Regards,
Jan
