So, how important is it to have a proper debuginfo package? How much hacking is permissible or necessary in order to achieve that goal?
I think these are questions best answered by the maintainer/reviewer (and possibly upstream). The easy answers are: tiny hacks -> do it many hacks/patches -> probably not worth it It's defining the line between the two that's tricky.
Is an incomplete debuginfo package (that contains, say, the striped debug information but is missing some or all of the source code) still useful, or would it be better to have none at all?
Something is certainly better than nothing.
