Ubuntu has experimented in the past with the concept of automatically generating and shipping symbols for *all* packages, packaged up in a "ddeb"s (same format as .deb) and shipped via a different repository that isn't mirrored by all of the downstream mirrors.
This was years ago, I'm not sure what has happened since then. I remember being discussed in Debian as well, but it was never adopted, probably because noone ever implemented it :)
Good question. There are a few bugs and blueprints about it, and they show as *implemented*

What happened, then?
