The rpm packaging code might be able to do this during the step of
building the package.  I had to do some fiddling to turn off the default
behavior of trying to split out debug support on recent Fedoras because
it was breaking tests, but it's just a flag to turn it back on.

Anyway I'll keep an eye on what you guys are doing in case the packaging
bits need another kick.
