We don't have any particular interest in debugedit though. It is only 
used as a crutch to extract the debug source locations. If readelf can 
do the same thing, we'll use that - please do understand that reporting 
issues upstream costs time, especially if upstream replies with 
NEEDINFO, WORKSFORME or WONTFIX type of thing, so we prioritize what's 
truly critical :)
