Are you asking specifically for support for this file format or just having symbols in an external file? As to the later, that's essentially what our .bndb files are. If you're looking for support for this particular file format, it's likely better off as a plugin than a core feature and I doubt it would be very much work but probably not something we'd focus on since it's so easy to implement using the existing API.

Was referring to the former.

I'm going to mark this as closed. Generally "support for external symbol/debug files" is now supported via the load option loader.debugInfoExternal (which accepts a file path), the UI action under Analysis -> Import Debug Info from External File, or through the DebugInfo APIs. Specific .debug support is provided with the official DWARF-import plugin, and better support should be coming with #3206.
