asterisk users - Dec 2017 - Can't install package asterisk-dbgsym on Stretch

Hello,

On a fresh Debian Stretch setup, I have:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d//dbgsym.list
deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ stretch-debug main

# apt-get update
...
# apt-get install asterisk gdb

 # apt-get -s install asterisk-dbgsym
...
 asterisk-dbgsym : Depends: asterisk (= 1:13.14.1~dfsg-2+deb9u1) but
1:13.14.1~dfsg-2+deb9u2 should be installed

(above output is translated from the output I had)


1. Is this a bug in debian-debug repo ? If positive, should I file a bug
report ?

2. Is correct to understand that to get DONT_OPTIMZE, BETTER_BACKTRACE and
so on options compiled in, I must recompile anyway ?

Regards

As far as I know the deb debug package just contains debugging symbols
(before these are stripped), you still need the normal asterisk packages
with the binaries. The last time I tried to debug with these packages it
was a waste of time since your not running a version with debugging
options. These debug packages show some extra info in gdb traces, but
lots of important stuff is still optimized away. 

If you need to debug install the source package and compile from there.
You might want to figure out how to manipulate the deb build rules to
include wanted flags, shouldn't be to hard but it has been a few years
for myself.

You seem to mix two versions.

  apt-cache policy asterisk
  apt-cache policy asterisk-dbgsym

rmadison shows me now that the versions of asterisk is
1:13.14.1~dfsg-2+deb9u2 in both the stable and the stable-debug repos.

Right. DONT_OPTIMZE has a considerable performance impact. I never
considered BETTER_BACKTRACE and its performance impact. Is it
independent of DONT_OPTIMZE?
