The issue actually might be elsewhere and the error issued by Lintian
might be correct. I though actually still don't know what happens
here, especially not why.

install -D libip6t_NETFLOW.so
$(DESTDIR)$(IPTABLES_MODULES)/libip6t_NETFLOW.so

For some reason this causes the file paths mentioned in the lintian
warning to be used:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ make -n DESTDIR=debian/tmp linstall
echo " *"
install -D libipt_NETFLOW.so
debian/tmp/usr/lib/debug/.dwz/x86_64-linux-gnu/iptables.debug/libipt_NETFLOW.so
install -D libip6t_NETFLOW.so
debian/tmp/usr/lib/debug/.dwz/x86_64-linux-gnu/iptables.debug/libip6t_NETFLOW.so
$ echo $IPTABLES_MODULES
$
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I suspect this is the cause for the then likely correct but kinda
misleading lintian warning.
Maybe lintian should warn about non-debug stuff in dbgsym packages?
I'll probably later retitle and reassign the bug report to lintian
accordingly — once I've better understood wtf is going on here.
