There is already a patch [1] in bugzilla that does that.. And in bonus to keeping the debug files (currently in <libpath>/.debug/libname.so.dbg but that can be changed) . It can also keep the source files in /usr/src/debug so they can loaded by gdb (pretty useful when debugging into libraries). It creates 3 new features, keepdebug, keepdebugbin and keepsources keepdebug will keep the debug symbols for libs keepdebugbin will keep then for non-lib binaries and keepsources will keep the related sources..
