Yes.

It occurs in some other class where we try to locate the debug symbols for a given object file. There, we construct the list of paths to look for because we use multiple sources to get the paths. We use the setting I mentioned earlier, the `.debug` folder, and some order path scheme with `.build-id` folders.
