Motivation is needing to support multiarch, I see..
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/09/msg00375.html

upstream reference: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RolandMcGrath/BuildID

I don't understand the symlinks mentioned there:
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ab/cdef1234 -> ../../../../bin/foo
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ab/cdef1234.debug -> ../../usr/bin/foo.debug
Perhaps for backwards compatability to the old gdb,
although I don't know why the link to the binary would be needed. it
seems we would not want to use these symlinks.
