Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
Hello,
when an application crashed, apport tells me about it (if I enabled it) which is great.
But often debug packages make sense, often a crash appears more times, and if after the first crash the debug packages are installed, then are better backtraces possible. So after the first crash apport should say that it could make sense to install debug packages and install them with one click, if the user wants to. (Similar to the automatically download of codecs in totem for example).
Thanks in advance.
