--- Comment #9 from Jamin Collins <jamin.collins at gmail dot com> ---
why not simply have debugedit detect (or watch) whether it has accounted for
the full file contents.  If it has, great, do its thing.  If it has not, leave
the file untouched/altered.

If in the course of doing its work, debugedit does not account for the full
file contents, then the file is (as has been indicated) not a proper spec
conforming ELF file.  As such, debugedit (and other ELF tools) should probably
leave the file as-is, unless explicitly told otherwise (perhaps an additional
flag).
