Previously find-debuginfo was a part of RPM, so I hope it's okay to ask this 
question here.

I want to know the history behind why find-debuginfo.sh operates only on exec 
files.

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=debugedit.git;a=blob;f=scripts/find-debuginfo.in;h=ae0818fb6bfc8ef96bc3f24c3156455d50c91506;hb=HEAD#l437

This makes things a bit difficult while generating debuginfo package of kernels.
`make modules_install` in kernel install all `.ko` (kernel objects) under 
`<buildroot>/lib/modules` but find-debuginfo won't operate on it due to 644 
permissions. Is there any reason to operate only on exec files? Why can't we 
operate on all ELF files?
