Ideally such a service would be based on debuginfod from elfutils, but it 
needs to be integrated on the package builder side. I.e. this would need to be 
done by the Arch packagers and it nothing that can be influenced by KDE itself 
directly. The reason is that the debug symbols have to match exactly the 
binary that is run.
