-dd sounds like it would be useful.

The thing I miss most at the moment is an easy way to install debug
packages from a port build, I can use something like "doas env
PKG_PATH=/usr/ports/packages/amd64/all pkg_add -D unsigned debug-whatever"
but it's a bit fiddly.

Note to other readers (I know Marc knows :) this is currently only for
amd64. It might be possible to add some arches, but others have too
many limits that it won't work out.
