One of the things I am working on is making access to sources,
symbols
and debuginfo easier for rpm packages as distributed by Fedora. That
helps users profiling, debugging and tracing the things they run on
their systems. For some background see:

Flatpak supports something called "extensions", where an app (or a
runtime) can specify extension points which are then optionally there
when running the app. One use of this in flatpak is debuginfo
extensions for the case above (another is locale data). Also, if you
use flatpak-builder to build your app then these are automatically
built for you, similar to how rpm does it (which support for was also
written by me).
