-dbg-source would be better.. but I don't mind that.  I know there have been 
complaints where people want the debug symbols on the target, but don't want the 
debug sources.  This could address that as well.

I'd suggest someone (Phil ?) collect these and add a open an enhancement bug in 
the YP bugzilla.  That way progress on implementation can be tracked.   (Unless 
of course someone just implements it.. but I'm guessing it won't be quite that 
straightforward.)
