Yup, you're right about that. Besides the debuginfo, thats the one.

Yes, they do. And this is the focal point here IMHO. According to Kevin, 
this is a bug and should be fixed by having filesystem to own 
/usr/lib/debug  (like /usr/src/debug), and also having packages only to 
own "their own" directories. Are saying that the current ownership is OK?

Whatever command I used, it was wrong. New datapoint:

$ repoquery --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo='fedora*' -qf /usr/lib/debug 
| wc -l
6089

cheers!
