Some distributions package debuginfo (DWARF, symbol table, ...) separate
from the actual binary. As an example, on RHEL, if you install both
findutils and findutils-debuginfo, you'll get /usr/bin/find (stripped
binary) and /usr/lib/debug/bin/find.debug, which contains the actual
symbol table and DWARF debug data.
