Not completely.  Since the .lzo is compressed and obfuscated, you will lose a lot of name and file/line information.  It should still be debuggable, just not as useful.

If you want to have debugability in a .lzo, you should be able to say:

  lzc -c -DnameFunctions=true -Dobfuscate=false -Dcompress=false ...

but obviously that would make a much larger .lzo, not what you would want as a final product.
