Is there a GIMP debug pre-built package and why not?

Title pretty much says it all. Devs asked for special GIMP debug symbols. I have searched for debug package and couldn't find it.

The only thing I've found is some Arch article claiming I should compile gimp from scratch with debug options.

What's the reason for not having gimp debug packages in Arch?

The same reason there's no debug packages for any other package. The priority at the moment seems to be reproducible builds, but talk about making debug packages pop up on the mailing list occasionally.

Alright, thanks.

I appreciate what Arch team is doing on keeping everything up to date, asap. One of the greatest perks for me. But what gimp dev said, it's a bit odd that we don't have a debug packages considering we use newest, upstream software.

Well, I'm not so keen on having a single package with all debug symbols, but additional debug packages installed when needed should be good. I understand though that those would mean additional work for the team.
