I'll add one more case, which seems to happen to me all the

- You're in IRC or email, and all the bug reporter has given you is a
random copy and paste from their terminal. They don't care to open
a bug; they don't much care about anything except getting a fix.
Minidebuginfo would help here.
It seems you (and others in the thread) are hoping for an automatic
backtrace on any crash - I don't think that's in the currently
discussed scope.
Even with this feature you'll have to walk them through 1) enabling
core file creation, or finding the abrt-maintained core, and 2)
running gdb or abrt on the core. I'm not sure whether minidebuginfo
would make the situation actually simpler...
