Is this a complete vdso.so as mapped in process or just the debug
symbols or both?
Looking at my Debian thingy this seems to be there as of
	https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/linux-image-6.19.8+deb14-amd64-dbg/filelist

| /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/6.19.8+deb14-amd64/vdso/vdso32.so
| /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/6.19.8+deb14-amd64/vdso/vdso64.so
| /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/6.19.8+deb14-amd64/vdso/vdsox32.so
| /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/6.19.8+deb14-amd64/vmlinux

or do we talk about other things? Usually there is -dbgsym with the
stripped out debug symbols under /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ but the
kernel seems different.
