How to automatically install corresponding debuginfo package during installation and update?

I’ve found https://gist.github.com/nogweii/7761427?permalink_comment_id=4281073#gistcomment-4281073:

zypper packages -i 2>/dev/null | tail -n +5 | cut -d'|' -f3 | sort -u | sed -n 's/^ \([^ ]*\)\s\+/\1-debuginfo/p' | xargs zypper search -u -t package | tail -n +5 | cut -d'|' -f2 | sed -n 's/^\s//;s/\s\+$//gp' | xargs sudo zypper install

but am surprised that there appears to be no obvious documented native method of instructing zypper to install the debuginfo package corresponding to all packages in a dup and install action.

Does anyone know whether this exists, and if not, whether it is deliberate?

@arvidjaar, indeed, I’ve been using that. However, installing the debug packages means that invocation is a lot quicker because it doesn’t JIT-install debug dependencies.

How to automatically install corresponding debuginfo package during installation and update? - #4 by arvidjaar

@arvidjaar, try as I might, I’m unable to understand what that output demonstrates, although I expect that it contradicts

If it does, why do the *.-debuginfo packages continue to be offered, and why does gdb nag me for them even with debuginfod enabled?
