Sure, uncaught exceptions are never nice.

I guess almost every Xapian API call will fail with the database closed.

You need to add a seperate repo for the new style debug symbols in
Debian:
$ (git)-[master]-% apt policy libxapian30-dbgsym
libxapian30-dbgsym:
  Installed: 1.4.15-1
  Candidate: 1.4.15-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.4.15-1 500
        500 http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug testing-debug/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug unstable-debug/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Well, I agree you should get NOTMUCH_STATUS_XAPIAN_EXCEPTION back, or we
should change the docs to say "just don't do that".
