Hello,

I work on upstream Thunderbird and we get bug, crash, and performance reports that are often only useful if debug symbols are enabled.
It appears there are no dbg packages available for Thunderbird.

Please could you enable debug packages for Thunderbird?

This is on bookworm.

Thank you,
Corey

Add this source to your apt sources:

```
Types: deb
URIs: https://deb.debian.org/debian-debug
Suites: bookworm-debug
Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-bookworm-stable.gpg
```

and then run `apt update` followed by `apt install thunderbird-dbgsym` and
you'll have debug symbols.

No, let the report open, we need to better document this also within the
package. And also within the Debian wiki so we can point from the
package to a place withe better options to visualize the needed steps a
user would need to take.
