Most probably your Makefiles or spec stripped everything before reaching
debuginfo generation or wasn't even compiled with -g.
Make sure you don't strip anything you want debuginfo generated for
and that is has been compiled with debug enabled (-g is among RPM_OPT_FLAGS,
so if the package honors that, it shouldn't be any extra effort).

Don't look at kernel.spec or glibc.spec for debuginfo details, these
two packages build debuginfo specially on their own.  But AFAIK
all other packages use the standard thing.
