Details - Debian add debug package
it save space by stripping debug symbols but allow debugging easily by loading debug package
implementation is described here
https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages
This could be implemented by finding all ELF files and call objcopy --only-keep-debug on them, and put the symbols into /usr/lib/debug/original path into the -dbgsym package. dh_strip has a similar feature, but has a different semantics in different compatibility levels, and generally interacts too much with the packaging to use it in a robust and generic way.
