Hi Tom,

  That warning should now have gone away, tanks to a patch recently 
  committed by H.J.

  But in general debug info files can contain information that is
  relevant to the decoding of other sections in the "main" file,
  even non-debug sections.  (For example debug info files often
  contain symbol tables which are absent from the main file).

  This is why the automatic following of debug links behaviour
  was added.  The addition is still being debated however and
  it may very change.  For some information please see the thread
  starting here:

  and then continuing here:

Cheers
