+  # Full Debug Symbols is supported on JDK7 or newer.
+  # The Full Debug Symbols (FDS) default for BUILD_FLAVOR == product
+  # builds is enabled with debug info files ZIP'ed to save space. For
+  # BUILD_FLAVOR != product builds, FDS is always enabled, after all a
+  # debug build without debug info isn't very useful.
+  # The ZIP_DEBUGINFO_FILES option only has meaning when FDS is enabled.
+  #
+  # If you invoke a build with FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=0, then FDS will be
+  # disabled for a BUILD_FLAVOR == product build.
+  #
+  # Note: Use of a different variable name for the FDS override option
+  # versus the FDS enabled check is intentional (FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS
+  # versus ENABLE_FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS). For auto build systems that pass
+  # in options via environment variables, use of distinct variables
+  # prevents strange behaviours. For example, in a BUILD_FLAVOR !=
+  # product build, the FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS environment variable will be
+  # 0, but the ENABLE_FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS make variable will be 1. If
+  # the same variable name is used, then different values can be picked
+  # up by different parts of the build. Just to be clear, we only need
+  # two variable names because the incoming option value can be
+  # overridden in some situations, e.g., a BUILD_FLAVOR != product
+  # build.
