debug-symbols-not-detached
This file is in a location generally used for detached debugging symbols, but it appears to contain a complete copy of the executable or library instead of only the debugging symbols.
Files in subdirectories of /usr/lib/debug mirroring the main file
system should contain only debugging information generated by objcopy
--only-keep-debug. Binaries or shared objects built with extra
debugging should be installed directly in /usr/lib/debug or in
subdirectories corresponding to the package, not in the directories that
mirror the main file system.
If you are using dh_strip with the --dbg-package flag, don't also install
the library in /usr/lib/debug. dh_strip does all the work for
you.
