My memory of the original theory was that there would be three different uses:

1 - I want no debug (stripped) software on the target and debug binaries (split)

2 - I want debug (not-stripped/not-split) software on the target

3 - I want no debug (stripped) software on the target, and I don't want debug 
binaries

So based on that, it looks like your change fixes things.  As the original 
implementation didn't allow for #3.
