I have been sitting on this for a while...   Looking at gdb docs:

Suppose you ask gdb to debug /usr/bin/ls, which has a debug link that
specifies the file ls.debug, and a build ID whose value in hex is
abcdef1234. If the global debug directory is /usr/lib/debug, then gdb
will look for the following debug information files, in the indicated order:

    /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ab/cdef1234.debug
    /usr/bin/ls.debug
    /usr/bin/.debug/ls.debug
    /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ls.debug.

Currently we strip files to (e.g.) /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ls.debug and
symlink to /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ab/cdef1234.debug.

So I think we are doing this wrong!  We should strip to
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/, then symlink into the /usr/lib/debug/<path>/
tree.  That way, if we have a file path conflict across split-packages,
we still get debug files for both binaries.  In the case of the
conflict, we can leave the /usr/lib/debug/<path> symlink on a first come
wins basis, or delete it and have not file provide it.  With warning
message...
