Bug Description

There are packages for ffmpeg 7:4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 in jammy-updates universe.

However, there are no debug symbols for this version on ddeb - there are only debug symbols for 7:4.4.1-3ubuntu5 in jammy universe.

This makes it very difficult to debug crashes in applications using ffmpeg. (I'm pretty sure my crash is due to a bug in the application using the ffmpeg library, specifically libswscale, but without debug symbols it's very hard to figure out what's wrong.)

Hi Jonathan,

Out of curiosity, did you check to see if our debuginfod instance can provide ffmpeg's debuginfo?
