How can I install/enable debug symbols for LibreOffice Fresh PPA (Ubuntu)?

In following comment of bug (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148197#c14) I was asked to install a LibreOffice debug package in order to get debug symbols for a better backtrace.

I figured out that there are libreoffice-*-dbgsym packages for the LibreOffice version that ships with Ubuntu. However, how do I get these debug packages for LibreOffce Fresh from the official LibreOffice PPA? (https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa). I can’t find dbgsym packages in the PPA.
How can I obtain debug symbols for LibreOffice Fresh from the Ubuntu PPA?

Was the PPA even built with debug symbols that you could obtain? Ask the friendly PPA maintainer.

Thanks @erAck : Thanks! I asked the PPA maintainer and they send me the information how to obtain dbgsym packages for a PPA:
