Is there a mirrorlist mechanism for debuginfo?
no, debuginfo machines are sometimes rotated, and handled in rdns, the demand for debuginfos translates to something just under 0.01% of overall b/w and package requests :)
It is kinda of ironic that FLOSS software, which prides itself on community involvement in bug fixing, has also managed to construct a -debuginfo distribution framework that makes it more, not less, difficult to find backtraces for common flaws.
The only point being that citing "demand" statistics is at least as much an indication of the rickety feebleness of the -debuginfo distribution framework as it is an indication of "No interest".
