The existing behavior of find-debuginfo.sh is already
configurable: there is no One True Answer, nor is there
any benefit to cosmetically removing errors from eu-strip.

The far deeper flaw is that package executables are stripped multiple times
even if no one has noticed.

The entire means by which ELF executables are stripped (and -debuginfo
packages are "automatically" produced) is overly complex and fragile
when implemented through "helper" scripts.

The better approach imho is to reimplement stripping/debuginfo production
directly in RPM, which has linked against elfutils libraries since elfutils
was written.

There's nothing particularly hard about stripping/debuginfo, but the
existing mechanisms are rather gross and cumbersome.
