Thanks for making the builds and help me get fresh Emacs ! It is very much appreciated.

Do you think it would be doable to build a -dbg package alongside the normal builds ? I'm not sure what's involved in that endeavor.

Cheers !

Glad that you're finding the packages useful!

Debug symbols should be available, actually! Have you seen this section of the PPA readme?

Debug symbols are available! After adding the PPA however you normally do, find the corresponding entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. It will look like the first line below (though the suite name may be different if you are not using bionic); duplicate it and change the component name ("main") to "main/debug". deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kelleyk/emacs/ubuntu bionic main deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kelleyk/emacs/ubuntu bionic main/debug

Once you've done that, try installing e.g. emacs26-dbgsym.

Please feel free to reopen this issue if you have any trouble!
