Native -debuginfo packages usually also contain source files to be able 
to view source code when debugging with gdb. For example:

$ rpm -ql libusb-debuginfo
<snip>
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libusbpp.so.debug
/usr/src/debug/libusb-0.1.12
/usr/src/debug/libusb-0.1.12/descriptors.c
/usr/src/debug/libusb-0.1.12/error.c
<snip>

However, our mingw32 debuginfo packages only contain the debug dll. Is 
the lack of source files a problem for Windows debugging? I don't have a 
Windows setup to try it out.
