What is the reason why any *-debuginfo package requires any binary package?

Sure it installs .debug files which are only partially usable (officially not
usable) without their binary counterparts.  But still even this dependency is
currently not complete there, I am not aware which rule generates the current
dependencies but it seems as useless there; going to submit the patch.
