They do so because the debug packages make a large repository, and taking
them to a separate repo saves a lot of updating time for most people,
which do not need them, and have only the main repo defined.

Yes, you need the debug info package of the same version as the installed
library, and they don't exist. They told me that they do generate the
debug package, but as they are very large and would impact badly the
mirrors downstream, they no longer update the repository.
Quite sad and very unfortunate for those of us needing those packages to
fulfill a bug report. I was bitten by that problem, too (bugzilla
#something).
The only way you have is to convince some chap at SuSE to email you those
debug packages, or upload them somewhere.

The sources should be available, I understand, even those of updated
packages - but maybe the updated packages sources have a similar problem
as the debug packages and aren't available. That would be worse, would be
illegal :-/
