Can you expand on that last part? Are you referring to some automation
that pulls debuginfo rpms into a separate repository? I guess the
buildinfo one should go into sources repo, right?

That is, of course, another valid strategy, and may make sense given
the archful nature of some things.
New sub-package sounds like a good idea. Is it ok to package it as a
single file in /usr/src/buildinfo?
