That bug report at GNOME has been promptly closed, with no email
response to me and no information about what debugging libraries I
need. I'll continue in this bug report since upstream doesn't seem to
be able to correspond correctly.

I've installed ‘libc6-dbg’ (not installed by ‘bug-buddy’), and a
subsequent crash gives the attached Bug Buddy report. Are there any
more debug packages I should install?
