I would expect debuggers like gdb to search /usr/lib/debug and
/usr/local/lib/debug in order to find the debug symbols of a binary,
so that what's inside the debug/ directory needs to have the same path
as where the binary resides, hence I think it should be:

/usr/local/lib/debug/usr/local/lib/xen/
