[yocto] Files/directories were installed but not shipped

[Cai, Juliet Z]

I am getting "ERROR: QA Issue: Files/directories were installed but not shipped" when I try to build my custom layer. It then list bunch of directories and files under

/usr/src
/usr/src/debug
...

My do_install looks something like this
do_install () {
Install -d ${D}${libdir}
Install -c -m 555 {S}/path-to-files/libmy.so
}

Nowhere in my do_install function did I try to install files to /usr/src. Where does this come from? And how can I get rid of it?

Thanks in advance

That's the debug source/symbols splitting happening. That directory is
usually packaged into FILES_${PN}-debug (see meta/conf/bitbake.conf), so
you must be overriding either that value, or PACKAGES so as to not have a
PN-debug package.
