Most users never install -debuginfo.
GDB instructs them they should:

Missing separate debuginfos, use: dnf debuginfo-install xorg-x11-utils-7.5-20.fc23.x86_64

I'm not sure that old packages are tracked somewhere for, say,
rawhide.
Only in ABRT server retracing infrastructure. They are also tracked in
darkserver build-id to NVRA mapper (that should be under some rework).
But debugging old packages from Rawhide does not make much sense IMO, it is
more meaningful for RHEL/CentOS servers.
