Technology note for anybody that looks at this in the future - the implementation of this feature appears to be that each .debug_xxx section is replaced by a .zdebug_xxx section that has been zlib compressed.

Note that some binutils tools like objdump will attempt to hide this fact and show the original section, decompressing on the fly if you try and read it.
