Hi Greg,
Try the following actions to get debuginfo RPMs. It was tested on CentOS5.2.

1.	Add macros file to /etc/rpm directory with the following content:
%_enable_debug_packages 1

#       Template for debug information sub-package.
# NOTE: This is a copy from rpm to get the ifnarch noarch fix, it can be removed later
%debug_package \
%ifnarch noarch\
%global __debug_package 1\
%package debuginfo \
Summary: Debug information for package %{name}\
Group: Development/Debug\
%description debuginfo\
This package provides debug information for package %{name}.\
Debug information is useful when developing applications that use this\
package or when debugging this package.\
%files debuginfo -f debugfiles.list\
%defattr(-,root,root)\
%endif\
%{nil}

%install %{?_enable_debug_packages:%{?buildsubdir:%{debug_package}}}\
%%install\
LANG=C\
export LANG\
unset DISPLAY\
%{nil}

2. Extract debugedit file from rpm-build-4.4.2-46.fc7 file and copy it to /usr/lib/rpm/ directory.
    # rpm2cpio rpm-build-4.4.2-46.fc7 | cpio -idmv

Regards,
Vladimir
