In the context of packaging for various Linux distributions, the topic of (native) debuginfo comes up.

Here is what many linux distributions do:

1. Build a package with full debuginfo (-g with gcc/clang, RelWithDebInfo for cmake)
2. Run a separate tool to find all debuginfo, strip it and move it to a separate package (-debuginfo for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, -dbgsym for Debian/Ubuntu).

Now if users want to just run .NET Core, they install dotnet. If they want to use the debug symbols, they need to install dotnet-debuginfo or dotnet-dbgsym (or the variant used by the distro).

Neither source-build nor the current official build accounts for this. These builds just strip out everything that leaves the package build process nothing to work with. For example, see https://github.com/dotnet/core-setup/issues/1607

I would like to "fix" this in source-build. Should I just remove the various invocations to strip debug info? Is there a need to make this conditional depending on the current platform? Or even build type?
