I think this page should mention that the @@plugin_dir should be changed from its default if mysqld-debug is used.

Thank you for bug report.

I would argue it's better if mysqld-debug itself know what correct plugin dir is,
if debug server is built correct this should be possible.

That's Bug #88363 isn't it?
