http://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/variables.html#term-PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE

  that section claims:

“debug-with-srcpkg”: The same behavior as “.debug” previously
described with the exception that all source files are placed in a
separate *-src pkg. This is the default behavior.

  well, it's sort of the default behaviour. the code in
package.bbclass states:

    # We default to '.debug' style
    if d.getVar('PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE') == 'debug-file-directory':
        # Single debug-file-directory style debug info
        debugappend = ".debug"
        ...
    else:
        # Original OE-core, a.k.a. ".debug", style debug info
        debugappend = ""
        debugstaticappend = ""

  so, according to the if construct in package.bbclass, unless you
explicitly set that variable, the default is ".debug." HOWEVER, not
once you notice what is happening in bitbake.conf:

  PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE ?= "debug-with-srcpkg"

it just seems like those two explanations are fighting with each
other.
