Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Debug files for ld-linux are not found by gdb making debugging
  programs harder.

  [Test Plan]

   * Run a gdb debugging session and observe symbols from ld-linux shown
  properly:

  root at ii:~# gdb -q /bin/date
  Reading symbols from /bin/date...
  Download failed: Function not implemented.  Continuing without debug info for /bin/date.
  (No debugging symbols found in /bin/date)

  [Where problems could occur]

   * The fix is dropping using DH_COMPAT=8 for dh_strip. This override
  for compat level was in place to work around a valgrind issue (
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677876 ) that has
  been fixed already in Ubuntu 18.04 and later releases. Almost all
  other packages use the default compat level for dh_strip thus there is
  no expected problem to occur.

  Note that debug info for ld-linux is missing despite libc6-dbg being
  installed.

  Note that debug info for `libc.so.6` was loaded correctly, but debug
  info for ld-linux was not.

  (gdb) info shared

  (*): Shared library is missing debugging information.

  ----
  As far as I can tell, this is happening because libc6-dbg installs ld-2.31.so into the wrong place:

  dpkg -L libc6-dbg | grep /ld-2.31
  /usr/lib/debug/lib/libc6-prof/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so
  /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so

  Since ld-linux resolves to /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, GDB looks for
  debug symbols in the following paths:

  /lib64/.debug/ld-2.31.so
  /usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.31.so
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.debug/ld-2.31.so
  /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.debug/ld-2.31.so
  /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so

  None of these matches the actual installed path, so debug symbols are
  not loaded.

  P.S. Manually adding symbols via add-symbol-file
  /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so works fine, but this
  should be automatic.

  P.P.S. After running

  sudo mkdir /usr/lib/debug/lib64
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so /usr/lib/debug/lib64

  things start working as expected:

  gdb -q /bin/date
  Reading symbols from /bin/date...
  (No debugging symbols found in /bin/date)
  (gdb) starti
  Starting program: /usr/bin/date
