        Hi,

 This is a followup for Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/170726>.

 Glib is currently built with optimizations and this results in libs
 which are copied into libglib2.0-0 and stripped, and in debug files
 (which are basically the delta between stripped and unstripped
 binaries) in libglib2.0-dbg.

 Would we build glib2.0 twice, one time with optimizations, the second
 time with --enable-debug, this would result in different libraries, and
 you wouldn't experience the same bugs with the two libraries (some bugs
 might disappear or appear dur to debugging symbols); this would also
 mean we have no useful symbols for the optimized library.

 Hence, I don't think we can do anything better than we currently have,
 and I'm inclined to close this bug, but please speak up if you have a
 better idea!

   Bye,
