In that case I'd just make the mozilla spec file to put the .zip in
the -debuginfo package.  Then their crash handling code just needs to
get the built RPM NVRA (it should probably be compiled in, but forking
a "rpm -q" could work I guess), and their server side can fairly
easily script a "wget
http://download.fedoraproject.org/.../mozilla-debuginfo-12345.rpm".
