REVISION SUMMARY
In practice .rela debug relocations often use the the .debug_* sections as the symbol, which has the value 0:
```
Relocation section '.rela.debug_info' at offset 0xd18 contains 205 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym. Value Sym. Name + Addend
000000000006 001a0000000a R_X86_64_32 0000000000000000 .debug_abbrev + 0
00000000000c 001e0000000a R_X86_64_32 0000000000000000 .debug_str + 0
000000000012 001e0000000a R_X86_64_32 0000000000000000 .debug_str + 45
```
so in those cases there is no difference if the symbol value is used in the relocation or not.
It is not always the case though:
```
000000000039 002700000001 R_X86_64_64 0000000000000010 xen_pci_driver + 0
```
