Bug Description

There is a new more efficient debug format enabled via CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT, this spits out new .dwo files which need packaging in the .ddeb before we can enable this. Evaluate whether the other tooling we have will handle it before doing so.

--

* all tooling supports split debug files these days
* ... apart from pahole which then fails to generate BTF info
