You're right. It appears in .eh_frame only.

What other differences can I expect between eh_frame and debug_frame? 
For now I handle both of them almost in the same way.
Exceptions are: Different CIE-id, different way of finding the right CIE 
for a given FDE, and from now on ignoring LSDA in eh_frame.
Is there something else?
