Bug Description
I submit frequent bug reports to bugs.kde.org.
Often these reports contain backtraces; but I often find myself in the situation that I only realise that a non-debug library for some particular application is installed AFTER a crash has occurred (because in that case the backtrace shows that debugging symbols weren't available in the library that was in use).
So I end up manually installing the debug library at that point (only after that particular application has crashed).
There should be some way in Kubuntu to say globally "install debug libraries" (or even something like "install debug libraries for standard KDE apps"), so that one can do the installation once and all applications will have debugging information available the first time that they crash.

Yes, would be really great if this would be possible, but not only for KDE, also for gnome software. Would be best is apport (or KDE equivalent) would suggest automatically to install debug packages when a crash occurs.
I mark this as wishlist.
