There were multiple Bugs suggesting the same, they are linked together for
example from this one from 2005.  But it all got WONTFIXed:
Debug info RPMs do not "require" exact maching binary rpm

The problem with those dependencies is that -debuginfo covers all the
subpackages, so which one should it require? All of them? That's more often
than not NOT what I want. (E.g., do we really want to force everyone to
install gcc-* just because ABRT/DrKonqi/whatever wants to install the
(usually unneeded) debugging information for libgcc? Getting gcc-debuginfo
dragged in is bad enough!)
Here is a quick and dirty spec implementing the idea I described: [1]. From what I can see it behaves correctly with any combination of packages and subpackages installed. Am I missing something?
