Craig,

At the moment there are roughly ~335 packages with external debugging symbols in Debian. For instance I have the following on my system:

ii kdebase-dbg 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6 debugging symbols for kdebase
ii kdelibs-dbg 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8 debugging symbols for kdelibs
ii kdenetwork-dbg 3.5.5-5 debugging symbols for kdenetwork
ii qt-x11-free-dbg 3.3.7-4 debugging symbols for qt-x11-free binaries

You are right that the entire archive is not covered.

Regards,

Alex.

Interesting. I was just checking in etch again before posting, and managed to fail to find said external debugging information. Well, colour me a fool.

Thanks for the info, it'll be quite handy.
