Just giving a feedback I have never agreed with this feature, there were many
mails by me (and others) with subject /minidebuginfo/i:
	  http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-May/thread.html

And some Fedora developers still disagree with this (accepted now) feature.

In summary the countercase is that build-id (already present in Fedora)
supersedes this "large" .gnu_debugdata data pack.  But people and their use
cases differ a lot and sometimes this or that feature fits better.

Jan
