Except we don't have Config.in options for host packages, and even if
we plan to add such options, we clearly don't want to add *visible*
options for every host package.

So for the host-lttng-babeltrace, the only solution would be to have a
sub-option to enable debug info support. But that would make it handled
differently than the debug info dependency for the target
lttng-babeltrace.

I don't really have a good answer here, I'm afraid.
