The problem with those dependencies is that -debuginfo covers all the
subpackages, so which one should it require? All of them? That's more often
than not NOT what I want. (E.g., do we really want to force everyone to
install gcc-* just because ABRT/DrKonqi/whatever wants to install the
(usually unneeded) debugging information for libgcc? Getting gcc-debuginfo
dragged in is bad enough!)
