I don't think we need the debug symbols. Loading the libraries from the system tar ball was sufficient for me to profile using ds-5 .Alternately if we build a "userdebug" buildtype image instead of "eng" we need not load the libraries also for profiling using DS-5 .The functions are resolved by DS-5 from the debug build.

aren't the symbols nicely sorted into their own "directory" so we could tar them into a separate system-dbg.tar.bz2 ?

I kind of feel reluctant to create an additional build for this. I want dbgsym for exactly the builds we output/release...
