> cddlib-debuginfo.i386: E: empty-debuginfo-package

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Debuginfo suggests I should look for -s
being passed to gcc or ld, or strip being called somewhere. I'm now building in
mock to be able to grep over a build.log for these.

Good spot. Will rm in prep.

"2. Static libraries only.
When a package only provides static libraries you can place all the static
library files in the *-devel subpackage. When doing this you also must have a
virtual Provide for the *-static package." from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries

My personal reason? There are header files too, therefore it's useful for
devel.

Thanks for helping Paulo out. I appreciate the input from both of you!
