F.e. you could internally prepare debuginfo packages in every phase, but publish them only before final. With reach of final, debuginfo packages could get delivered individually - only to those bugzilla reporters where necessary.
We do publish them, but only in the factory tree. But if there is a problem with e.g. firefox in alpha2 you switch firefox and firefox-debuginfo to their factory versions and reproduce the bug. No big problem.
So it also should be no big problem for you to leave the debuginfo packages from final.
of course it is a big problem. as factory can always introduce incompatible libraries. wouldnt be too helpful to fix bugs on the released product. and i doubt users would just upgrade to factory for reproducing a bug. or would you upgrade ftp.gwdg.de just because you found a bug on the system?
You could deliver the (relevant, not all) debuginfo packages only individually to bugzilla reporters after final, if and as necessary. My interest is that of a mirror admin only, but I am sure if you would let your marketing/statistics experts decide, they would do it "my way".
