find-debuginfo deduplicates the debugedit -l sources output (and must for multiple debugedit invocations on different object files).

But this could be a little bit more efficient if debugedit itself deduplicated the sources list itself.

A quick check shows that the number of files output contains ~90% duplicates.
On elfutils eu-readelf debugedit -n -l sources produces 2370 files of which on 246 are unique files.
