dwz still can't process compressed debuginfo sections, I think. It's
the reason why Fedora uncompresses all debuginfo sections.
It's also not clear to me which compression approach is to be used,
the GNU one or the ELF standard one. I expect support for GNU to be a
bit more widespread in our world because it's been around for a bit
longer.
