This is a follow-on request of bug:

HWE kernels should support eBPF CO-RE
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1926330

[Availability]

- Package is already available in all Ubuntu versions.
- This is a backported version (Impish) to Bionic and Focal

[Rationale]

- Current package dwarves-dfsg is old in Ubuntu Bionic and Focal
- HWE kernel compilation needs recent "pahole" binary to encode BTF[1] information
- After talking to SRU team members, updating dwarves-dfsg seemed risky
- Creating a new package for a more recent version of dwarves seems appropriate
