I don't know if it is *needed*, but that was what I need :)

I mean, what I was looking for is a way to know the percentage spent when some
symbol in the call chain belongs to a DSO. Like group all samples that have a
symbol of a DSO in the callchain, and know the percentage for that group.
Something like the "inclusive" time spent inside a library.
