Not really a review...

If I understand this correctly it's an image of only *debugsymbols* for
native files, right? debug-image as a name seems a bit confusing to me.
There is already a concept of 'release', 'fastdebug' and 'slowdebug'
builds for HotSpot. Perhaps calling it debugsymbols-image would make
more sense?

Thanks,
Severin
