Yeah, I figured that one out too.

Technically the -debug- pagackes are built with debugging symbols, and
we don't strip in Coda's build/install rules. But it looks like Fedora
or rpm or something now defaults stripping the binaries as they are
added to the RPM packages.

There is some mystery -debuginfo- rpm, but I haven't figured out how
that is helpful. Maybe gdb works if that one is installed, but objdump,
ltrace and a bunch of other tools still don't work for me. Maybe I'm
just doing something wrong.

I don't see why rpm seems to strip binaries and libraries.
