You're both right (or both wrong if you prefer :-)

You did:
  $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug:/usr/lib/debug/lib:/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib

Don't do that.  The things in /usr/lib/debug are real libraries, and
should be used through LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  The things in
/usr/lib/debug/lib and /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib are not real libraries,
and GDB will load them automatically during debugging.
