debug-symbols-directly-in-usr-lib-debug
The given debugging symbols-only object is installed directly in
/usr/lib/debug, although it should be installed in a
subdirectory. For example, debug symbols of a binary in
/usr/bin should be placed in /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin.
gdb, when looking for debugging symbols, prepends /usr/lib/debug
to whatever path it finds in the .gnu_debuglink section, which when using
dh_strip(1) is either the path to your binary/library or a build-id based
path.
