  That's what I was thinking for some time now too. It's good that
bitbake is expressive enought that we *can* so that with its generic means
like FILES, but doing that again and again instead once and for all is
really boring.

  And there's another issue here - empty .debug directories throught
the rootfs. This one is actually more complex, as empty directories
are there because of package-write task's workings, and sometimes we
want them, sometimes not, so it's unclear how to handle that issue. At
least we for sure don't want empty .debug/'s.
