Currently, debuginfod only provides an api to retrieve a single source file, so this code would have to parse all of the debug info, pry out the source files, and download them one by one -- a complicated and slow process.
Yeah, as debuginfod does not support a batch type of source download, maybe this particular lldb site is not an ideal fit..

I see your point, OTOH you only download the whole debuginfo because you currently have no choice. (Someday with debuginfod or such, you might be able to offload the DWARF searches, and then you won't have to download the whole thing.) We do have the choice to download sources on demand.
