Many distributions do split debugs for years and switching it on by default 
will likely interfere with their infrastructure and debuginfo setup. If it is 
kept ON by default, make sure there is a big fat note in the release notes ...

Debug information is also available with the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo, 
so you may consider this as well. You may see crashes happen in Release 
builds, but not in Debug builds.

Kind regards,
