Hello,

it would be great if this makes it into Bullseye. BTF is not only
relevant for tracing but for all BPF-related tasks, including for
example XDP.

According to [1], most other distributions (Fedora 31+, RHEL
8.2+, Arch Linux, Ubuntu 20.10+) already enable BTF. Having this
in the next Debian release would be very useful.

I installed the dwarves package and tested building the linux
source package with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and it worked fine.

Regards
Simon
