Well - if you want full debug info, then yes, either build yourself or
use the builds by the bot - as they are huge, and building on linux
isn't that hard, I don't really expect many people to use them.

--enable-debug isn't needed. symbols are enough (and the
--enable-symbols switch doesn't change program logic, doesn't enable
additional assertions/checks that the --enable-debug switch does)

And usually when building yourself, you don't build the whole
LibreOffice with debug info - just building the module you're working
on in debug mode is enough.
