Thought so ;)

So if I compile the SPM packages with debug=yes or when debug=yes is the
default and I strip the packages, is there enough information left for you to
do those backtraces?
Because that would be a nice compromise between backtracing and keeping
packages small. And what strip option(s) keeps the right information present?
