I'm got a couple of them and they both say nothing
requires them:

[root at zooty /]# rpm -q -a | fgrep kernel-debug
kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64
kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64
[root at zooty /]# rpm -qv --whatrequires kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64
no package requires kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64
[root at zooty /]# rpm -qv --whatrequires kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64
no package requires kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64

Yet, if I erase it, it comes back on the next update.

It certainly looks like it provides headers for building
modules for debug kernels, but I have no debug kernels
installed so it becomes very mysterious. Perhaps another
mysterious side effect from splitting kernel into
kernel-core and modules separately?
