There's a problem with some of the changes I made to add arch to our uname -r 
output screwing with debuginfo a bit. The size isn't double though.

Before
------
kernel-debuginfo: ~198M
kernel-debuginfo-common: ~32M

Now
---
kernel-debuginfo: 47k
kernel-debuginfo-common: 230M

So same size overall, I just haven't got all the bits getting into the right 
sub-packages. Working on fixing that now.
