Brian,
I suspect the debris is from a failed plastic thrust washer from the gearbox.
Unlike carbon the plastic doesn't crumble when you squash it so it is easy to tell if it is carbon or plastic.
Check the friction torque and see if it is lower than when measured on previous services, if it is then I would suggest you get the gearbox torn down & inspected.
