Description of problem:
The automatically generated debuginfo subpackages do not require the main package. This causes -debuginfo packages to be left behind if someone uninstalls the main package and also causes broken symlinks. This only affects packages that do not contain libraries, because dependencies on libraries are included in the debuginfo package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-build-4.4.2.2-7.fc8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build a package that generates a debuginfo subpackage
2. run rpm --requires -qp on it

Actual results:
does not require the main package

Expected results:
should require the main package
