find-dbgsym-packages lists all *-dbgsym packages required to properly debug processes given by a list of
       executables, libraries, core dumps or PID numbers.

       "--install"
           Don't  display  the  list of required dbgsym packages but directly use apt(1) to install them. (Shows
           the apt command being executed, though.) If not being run as root  and  sudo(1)  is  installed,  call
           "sudo apt install ...", else use "su - -c 'apt install ...'".

       "--ssh"
           Use "ssh root@localhost -t" instead of "sudo" or "su - -c". to gain administrative privileges.

           This  requires the package "openssh-client" and an SSH daemon (e.g. "openssh-server") to be installed
           (and running).

       "--deb"
           Generate a metapackage which depends on all the still needed debug symbol packages.

           This requires the package "equivs" to be installed.

           If "--install" is also given, automatically install the package and all its (missing) dependencies.

       "--all"
           Show or include all relevant debug symbol packages, not just those still missing.

       You must already have the correct debug lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, e.g.

           deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ unstable-debug main

       Don't forget to run "apt update" as root after adding such a line.

       Additionally, find-dbgsym-packages requires the elfutils and dctrl-tools packages to be installed.
