I mean this is where things just simply overlap, because debugging is
part of the development process and all debugging tools are development
tools, so I think the question is not whether one of the two places is
the "correct" but instead the user should be able to find the necessary
information by navigating to any of the two places.
So I would say, lets add a reference in the index of the development
tools that highlights the documentation of the debugging tools which are
found in the development process documentation.
