Hello list,

I've recently opened MRs to enable debugoptimized mode for meson[1] and
make it the default for new aports using CMake or meson[2]. This way
the -dbg subpackages for these actually make sense (without them
they're defunct since debugging info isn't generated during buildtime),
allowing users to debug crashes. Do note that this won't lead to a huge
increase in storage size needed in mirrors, since we only keep the
debugging info for the packages that have -dbg subpackages, otherwise
the debugging info will be stripped from the final binaries. Would be
nice if a few people could take a look at this :)

Regards,

Rasmus
