Yes! The debug repositories contain packages compiled with the debug flags enabled, which is tremendously useful if a program is crashing:

In Arch or Alpine the user has to recompile the program locally to get a proper backtrace, which can be a pain.

Thanks, I may roll back and give that another try.

Even Buster alone was not sufficient to get stable operation (for some definition of stable *.) In addition to drivers I had to get firmware directly from a Killer Github project.

(*) Bluetooth occasionally disappears and a full power down is required to restore operation. There's considerable discussion of this on the Dell forums since Ubuntu us supported by Dell on this model.
