An increase of 10 times seems indeed significant.
Currently on the road and cannot easily download those logs.
But will investigate where all the times goes when I am back home.

Yes. Invoke find-debuginfo with --no-ar-files

  If --no-ar-files is given, then static libraries will be ignored.  Otherwise,
  they receive only with source-path rewriting and collection.  They are
  not stripped, since they have no persistent build-ids to accommodate
  eventual reunification.

Your distro might also have build macros to make that happen.
