I can confirm that /usr/lib/debug is making it into the package, but not on
x86_64 where I usually build.  I did an i386 build and everything under
/usr/lib/debug is indeed included in the main package.

I note that recent rpmlint has grown a complaint about the Summary not being
capitalized.  Might be good to fix that.

I am not at all comfortable approving this package with the FHS violations in
/var/spool, and the naming issue troubles me as well.  You can say that it's
really "hylafax" and not "hylafax+", but the bottom line is that the upstream
web site very clearly puts the '+' there and makes the distinction between the
plussed and unplussed versions clear.  Also, when I go to google and enter
"hylafax" I get pointed to hylafax.org which uses no '+' anywhere and gets me a
different piece of software.  

Honestly, Fedora has no interest in any argument between the upstream developers
of the different branches of hylafax, and if you can't work out a consistent
naming scheme amongst yourselves which you present to us then I'm quite happy to
say that we'll just wait it out.

I'm going to start a thread on fedora-devel to try and get some discussion going.
