Quick surface check: build the package, look at the build logs and verify that 
the expected $RPM_OPT_FLAGS (not only -g) are there and that there are no 
"install -s", "gcc -s", "ld -s", "strip" or the like in it, run rpm -qlp (or 
rpmls) on the debuginfo package, verify that it contains both *.debug as well 
as source files.  The new debuginfo package should also be larger, sometimes 
much larger, than the non-fixed one.
