Bug Description
We have a libc6-prof package in the archive whose only addition to the base description is:
This package contains all libraries compiled for profiling.
This is opaque and doesn't explain at all what profiling features are enabled.
My understanding is that the key feature here is the use of -fno-omit-
'apt search omit-frame' returns no results, it would be good to fix it so it did. Putting this in the package description would achieve that.

FWIW, this is the new description in the git repo where the next version is being prepared:
