Comment (by bonefish):
Alongside the executable seems obvious at first, but from an aesthetical
point of view it is not so nice. It certainly doesn't harm to look there,
but I'd go with a separate directory in all case. That is with the
following layout for self-contained app directories:
{{{
Foo-O-Matic
add-ons/
bar-extension
debug/
bar-extension-debug-info
Foo-O-Matic-debug-info
libfoo.so-debug-info
lib/
libfoo.so
}}}
That would require searching "<image path>/debug" and "<image
path>/../debug" (respectively only the one corresponding to the image
type).
Similarly, for executables/libraries/add-ons installed globally in one of
the installation locations (system, common, or home) I'd go with a single
directory in the installation location. I'm unsure which of the following
three I'd prefer, though: "debug", "data/debug", or "develop/debug".
"debug" would be at the same level as "bin", "lib", and "add-ons", but it
would add another top-level directory. "data/debug" seems logical, since
it actually is debug data that would be stored there. "develop/debug" also
sounds kind of good, since the directory content is development related.
