Besides the normal Mac debugging symbols (which are indeed left out in any
external build) HyperCard also includes a complete internal debugging package.
Some pieces of this may or may not still exist.  Unlike debug symbols, to a

However, let's not kid ourselves - HC 2.0 -is- quite a bit bigger than 1.x.
