Are you sure this is libdw's problem? The name of the file should be stored in the ".gnu_debuglink" section of the elf file. This name can be set using objcopy's --add-gnu-debuglink, and that is what things like dh_strip do. As I understand the code, find-debuginfo.c:find_debuginfo_in_path() uses a default with ".debug" if no debuglink is set.
