I can't really see who could be confused. Unless I am wrong the static libs
are not stripped so the symbols are in, and the empty debuginfo is unneeded
anyway. And in my opinion no debuginfo package is not very less confusing than
an empty debuginfo package.

No rational. It is just that to me it should not be a requirement. It adds
unnecessary work for the packager, unnecessary clutter in the specfile 
for no practical gain. And the bug is in rpmbuild.

Anyway since this is already in the guidelines (but I think this is an unneeded
rule, should only be a recommendation), updated src.rpm at:
http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/w3lib-1.6-3.fc10.src.rpm
