Well given the definition that creates it in /usr/lib/rpm/macros is:

%debug_package \
%ifnarch noarch\
%global __debug_package 1\
%package debug\
Summary: Debug information for package %{name}\
Group: Development/Debug\
AutoReqProv: 0\
%description debug\
This package provides debug information for package %{name}.\
Debug information is useful when developing applications that use this\
package or when debugging this package.\
%files debug -f debugfiles.list\
%defattr(-,root,root)\
%endif\
%{nil}

Putting:

%debug_package   %{nil}

.. in your $HOME/.rpmmacros file is one way is it not?
