I heard about this service, but never used it... But since debuginfo is now
parallel-installable, it would be nice to have a place where all debuginfo
(from all releases / builds) is available so people could install it even it
disappeared from repositories.
I just confirmed it with Kushal (the developer of darkserver), darkserver
provides you an URL but that's basically sending you to koji (which keeps a good
chunk of the RPMs shipped to our user, but not all).
darkserver itself doesn't store anything.
