It already happened to me creating a package, and my final product
always crashed upoin start. So instead of just debugging the whole thing
(including underlying libs) I would have to open a bug report and 'wait'
for the debuginfo packages? So in plus putting some work on the staff
for delivering packages for me to debug something which (for reasons) is
not even part of the openSUSE distribution?

needed (and guess: I of course did not see from the very beginning which
ones could be interesting... so adding one after another, so
alternaively requesting one after another) and the error finally lied in
a lib, and not in the product I packaged... lbrary fixed, patch
submitted upstream and everything is fine...

system, easy accessible. For the final product and for factory. (Factory
for testing and good bugreporting against the distro, on final product
for bugtracking against other products).

To reduce the remarkable amount of space, especialy when measured at all
the mirrors, used by a filesystem that hardly anyone uses, but *is*
nessesary for the occasion, by putting this on one server, apart from
the install- and update-sources, is far the best idea thinkable.
The ones who need it will find it, that is for sure.
A 'debugserver", with pkgs from all maintained systems, is not such a
bad idea.
