debug hunks for this file. These provide the same
information as LINE hunks but normally require only 2
bytes of extra information per line that generates code."

Good luck finding specific information on it though. It's probably better to stick with SAS/C style LINE debug anyway as size isn't so much an issue anymore.

Vbbc looks like it can output DWARF2 debugging information inside an Amiga hunk executable. I'm not sure what and how that is supported but the vbbc docs have information:

The Dwarf2 format documentation is readily available elsewhere. How and what fits in an Amiga hunk executable is I don't know.
Thanks for the pointers. There's also the Barfly variant which includes embedded source code. It's good to be aware of these, for future exploration.
