True... So we could add lang_hooks.finalize_fndecl_referenced_from_final_symboltable () with the default implementation registering debug for nodes with bodies and for C/C++ override this to also register debug for externals? Not sure if we should hand it the cgraph node or whether FEs should figure out whether it is an alias or thunk in their own representation. Ada could leave it as default or do nothing in it. We need a better name though. Not sure if we need to ever do sth else from that hook and thus make it sepecific for debug emission...
