Bug#491564: [vlc] Please provide -dbg package

[Oliver Gerlich]

Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.h-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hello,

it would be nice if there was a package with debug symbols for VLC.
Right now I have the following crash backtrace:

#0  0xb7d830b6 in vfprintf () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#1  0xb7da775c in vasprintf () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#2  0xb10b710b in ?? () from /usr/lib/libvlc.so.0

I assume debug symbols for libvlc.so.0 would probably turn this into a
useable backtrace?

Thanks,
Oliver Gerlich
