FWIW OOo debuginfo is about 450 megs, which is rather sucky to force to
download on a crash. And neither OOo or firefox are using bug-buddy. In
the case of OOo at least the crash info can be re-annotated offline back
to source lines, so we don't loose anything by having no debuginfo
installed. Though we don't get local variables etc with offline
annotation, but we don't have those with the current crash reporter
anyway.
