A bit off topic for this list, but I've thought before that
message isn't as clear as it could be.

> Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install

I think we could drop "separate", as it is an implementation
detail that shouldn't matter to the user.  "debuginfos" being
plural reads a bit weird to me.  I think this would be a bit
clearer:

Debug info for packages used by the program missing. Install with: debuginfo-install

But of course that may well just be me.
