actually the clear side provides both build id and filename, the
tools on the client (gdb and the like) try buildid first, and fall
back to filename, and we just do both

AIUI that works by using the "/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/HE/XCODE" as the
key, i.e., the build-id as a file name.

sure but it's not "/usr/bin/true" of which  you might have different versions 
over
the lifespan of a distro through its updates

(e.g. you can connect gdb to a process that got updated on disk later and still 
get the right answers)

Do you also handle the core file use case? There you might not have
the right /usr/bin/true version on disk.

but the core file has the buildid in it (usually)....
