That was my original remark that pulling a "big" RPM for just one file is not
optimal. But as you said,
it will probably concern very few amount of users. So inserting a buildinfo file into
debuginfo RPM is
a good start. Also, nothing is written in the stone? If needed in a future, we could
change that.

With all the current iteration, should I assume that a first approach has converged to use
debuginfo RPM for
storing buildinfo file?

Thank you all for your time on this subject.
