Isn't it a common practice to strip, but keep them in separately published files that only contain symbols?

It is, in linux distros at large. Arch, however, does not publish (or even generate) those debug files (which contain the debug info & symbols that were stripped out).

That's how Fedora/EL does it at least. GDB even tells you what debug info packages are missing
