-debuginfo, now with 86% more awesome!

We'd all be downloading a lot more bits if it wasn't for the efforts of Roland McGrath on this one.
The amount of change in the kernel specfile isn't as much as I'd feared, which was one reason I had procrastinated over this (besides constantly seemed to find something more important to be tackling, like "my kernel doesn't boot").
It may still need some slight tweaks, but it's getting there. Longterm, hopefully we can bring down the size of the individual rpms further too. From what I understand, there's a lot of duplicated redundant info in there. That's going to be at least an FC7 project however.
