Correct, elfutils does not have much API documentation generally.  The
debuginfod parts are a recent addition that buck that trend. :-) I
don't have a strong opinion about doxygen syntax markup or tooling
dependence, per se.  OTOH I would not want to see documentation
duplication or loss of man pages.
