I'm not sure whether it is a conscious choice of the creator/maintainer to not include that group, or whether they just didn't know about it in the first place.
That's what reviews and feedback is for, so that the maintainer can either learn about it, or report back rational as to not using it.
Second, I really don't like the modifying of the debuginfo repo. There are tools like debuginfo-install that will enable debuginfo repos on the fly to get packages, rather than keeping the repo open all the time and dealing with extra repodata churn. Not to mention that it immediately taints the fedora.repo file so that we can't deliver any updates to it. Please reconsider this modification.
Can't seem to find the tool you're referring to. What is it's name exactly?
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/debuginfo-install yum-utils-1.1.16-2.fc10.noarch
Usage: debuginfo-install: Install debuginfo packages and their dependencies based on the name of the non-debug package debuginfo-install [options] package1 [package2] [package..]
