I’d prefer to have bug-buddy access directly the debugging symbols in an
online database. That should be feasible using FUSE over e.g. webdav
(with gvfs-fuse maybe).

However, to make this possible, gdb needs to be changed to stop reading
the entire files just to obtain a checksum. AFAICT this is the major
reason why you need to download the whole debugging symbols to obtain a
backtrace.
