(Catching up -- sorry, it's WWDC time again...)

I think:

- /usr/libdata/debug/... for the libraries, yes.  Shipped as part of  
the comp set.


As for debug symbols for /bin, /usr/bin, etc... I'm not sure those  
belong in /usr/libdata (but I can't think of a better place at the  
moment)... and I certainly don't think they belong in the comp set --  
those belong in a separate set (osdebug set?)  Debugging symbols for  
system LIBRARIES, on the other hand, are often useful for debugging  
user app code.
