Bug Description

[Impact]

 * Linux kernel comes with useful GDB scripts under scripts/gdb.
 * These bring new commands helping in debugging like lx-clk-summary, lx-cpus, lx-device-list-tree, lx-genpd-summary, lx-symbols, lx-timerlist and more
 * It would be useful to have them installed in dbgsym package.

[Test Plan]

 * Build package with and without skipdbg.
 * Check if GDB scripts are installed in /usr/lib/debug/share

[Where problems could occur]

 * This is packaging and Makefile change, so no particular runtime issues expected. Most likely any problem will be build time.
 * Wrong packaging could lead to missing files in dbgsym package.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
