I doubt end-users should ever need to force non-debuginfo, but we'll want t= o do this for testing at least.

If it weren't for this point, I would have suggested we just ditch the debuginfo flavor altogether. But at least having the two share the same pr= obe body will make the doubled-maintenance more obvious, and make it easier to = stay consistent. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
