root-debug: remove it everywhere
Separate debug files in .debug/ directories in root/ have been available for some time. This is supported by all modern toolchains and much less confusing. Remove all references to root-debug except for cleaning: This way there won't be old root-debug/ directories lying around after upgrading and running 'ptxdist clean' or 'ptxdist clean root'.

an NFS root for example. Refer :ref:`nfsroot` for further details how to
make use of it. In case of a debug session, this directory can be used
by a modern GDB for its sysroot as well by using
- ``set sysroot </path/to/workspace>/|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root``.

- Target’s root filesystem image intended to be used as system filesystem root
- for a debugger. The difference to ``|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root/`` is, all
- programs and libraries in this directory still have their debug information
- present. To be used by the debugger, we should setup our debugger with
- ``set sysroot </path/to/workspace>/|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root-debug``.
- Please note: this feature will fade-out soon. It is replaced by a long
- time supported feature used by modern GDBs: using sub-directories named
- ``.debug`` present in the ``|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root`` directory
- instead.
+ ``set sysroot </path/to/workspace>/|ptxdistPlatformDir|/root``:
