I don't think that in paricular is a strong a use case for juri's 2. 
relative to tabs-for-3rd-axis-for-window-splits as such  (If you haven't 
been following the thread closely admittedly the distinction may be 
unclear):

Each new debugger instance buffer could be opened in a new window, a 
window that's just put in a tab split with the other debugger instance 
windows (which might need some window group management, yes).
