You should use $prefix/lib/debug by default. Which would cause this to
map appropriately. If you have let's say /usr/bin/ls then by default it
would have /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ls.debug If you have
/usr/local/bin/foo then it would be /usr/local/debug/usr/local/bin/foo.debug

Assuming that ls was built with ./configure --prefix=/usr and foo was
built with ./configure (where --prefix is by default /usr/local).
