Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * With dwz the .gnu_debuglink section may appear duplicated in the
  debug file referenced originally in the .gnu_debuglink section. In
  that case Valgrind fails to load the debug symbols.

  [Test Case]

   * In Ubuntu releases earlier than 19.10 use gio from a package rebuilt with dwz.
   * Install debug symbols for gio following the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages
   * Observe no relevant error when running gio with valgrind:
     $ valgrind /usr/bin/gio ~

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is very simple, just ignoring the second .gnu_debuglink
  found. There are no likely regressions.

  [Original Bug Text]

  The debug symbols from libglib2.0-0-dbgsym and libgtk-3-0-dbgsym don't
  get properly picked up by valgrind in eoan for some reason. The
  symbols correctly work under gdb.

  There is an warning printed from valgrind
  'debuginfo section duplicates a section in the main ELF file'

  Laney tried to rebuild without dh_dwz and it makes the warning go away and the symbol work.
  Downgrading valgrind to the disco version doesn't fix the issue.
