I don't recall having seen it before, and I've been doing packaging work
for a very long time. The confusion about rpmlint complaints started
when this change hit rawhide.
If it really is historical, we're through such a sea change with the way
debuginfo is being done now that we should fix things to not require a
hidden directory. It's simply a bad idea.
"Fixing" rpmlint to complain about such things isn't really the right
answer, since the complaints are valid.
