Changes proposed in this pull request:

  • The "Debug Symbol Packages" link in the C extension debugging docs points to the old Ubuntu wiki page, which now returns a 404. Pointed it at the same section in the current Ubuntu Server docs

Yeah it's slow for me too. It's the official replacement though, since the old wiki page 404s and the other Ubuntu URLs redirect there. If you prefer, I can point it at the source on GitHub instead, which loads much faster: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-server-documentation/blob/main/docs/how-to/debugging/debug-symbol-packages.md

- ``gdb`` and ``valgrind``
- Potentially debug symbols for libraries. On Ubuntu you can follow those
instructions to install the corresponding packages: `Debug Symbol Packages <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages#Getting_-dbgsym.ddeb_packages>`_
instructions to install the corresponding packages: `Debug Symbol Packages <https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/debugging/debug-symbol-packages/#getting-dbgsym-ddeb-packages>`_

The page loads now, but it redirects to this URL.
