I just built a C package with LTO, installed -dbgsym and debugging seems to work fine, just as well as any optimized code. I guess this warning is mostly obsolete as in gcc-4.5 debugging LTO was indeed broken. Or perhaps, there are some corner cases not yet fixed. -- A tit a day keeps the vet away.
