The last version this file has been around is like 2.0.something... It
really should have been removed by the upgrades.

xulrunner-1.9.1-dbg contains
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/libxul.so, which should be enough
for debugging. So either you have a problem with your gdb, or there is
something else that I don't know involved, but certainly not the content
for the packages you have installed.
