The ABRT developers have said very clearly that that debugging information 
is not useful to them because it's insufficient and that they'll be 
downloading the full debuginfo anyway.

MiniDebugInfo contains only symbols, no line numbers (those would be much 
worse bloat!), no way to get function arguments etc. You get very crappy 
backtraces with only MiniDebugInfo.
