The .debug data does always go into /usr/lib/debug (even on micro).
That path is hardcoded in package.bbclass or some such place and doesn't
depend on ${prefix} or ${libdir}.

Yes, I agree.  As I mentioned the other day, I think having a
DISTRO_FEATURE for "/ usable without /usr mounted" would be a fine idea
and then all this sort of thing can be made conditional on that.

In this particular case I think there's also an underlying issue that,
for most people, having dhcp linked against openssl is probably just not
nececessary.  I assume this dependency is because of secure ddns or some
such thing, which is a fine feature but, I suspect, not one that the
majority of OE distros are actually using.
