Not really, I think it'd be wasted space.  Consider the number of bugs with
backtraces we've had over the years for smbd, vs. pam_smbpass.  And as seen,
in this case the segfault didn't happen in pam_smbpass itself anyway. :)

Heh, or we could adopt the Ubuntu mechanism of centrally storing debugging
symbols on a separate server for all packages. :)
