Which packages are returned for your query?

I've tried "repoquery --whatprovides /usr/lib/debug" for both x86_64
and i686, but it doesn't return anything other than nacl-devel.

Do you have any -debuginfo packages installed from a -debuginfo repo?
Those do own /usr/lib/debug and /usr/src/debug.

rpm -qa \*debuginfo
