Ah.  Missed that:

I think the new wording still isn't sufficiently clear.
It doesn't say that each element in debug-file-directory is
concatenated with the full file name.  The user might think that only
the base name of the file is used.
[At least that is my understanding of how debug-file-directory would be used.]
