Since the conversion of objtree to use relative pathnames (commit 7e1c04779e, "kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)"), the debug info files have been ending up in /debian/dbgtmp/ in the regular linux-image package instead of the debug files package. Fix up the paths so that the debug files end up in the -dbg package. This is based on a similar patch by Darrick. Reported-and-tested-by: "Darrick J.
