Ubuntu at least does this by storing all symbols for all relevent package versions "in the cloud" so you can use when needed. I think Debian were planning to deploy this as well, but I've no idea if that happened.
FWIW the "in the cloud" is how Microsoft has stored symbols for most of the Windows stack for at least 10 years. Basically, debuggers can download them on demand - kind of useful if you find yourself in WinDBG (which I swear is where I've spent the majority of my Windows using time in the past decade). -- Stewart Smith
