Yes, it would be nice if the user space sub-packages didn't use any of the "special settings". But at least the splitting of the sub-debuginfo package needs special handling for now (hopefully not needed in the future, see below). But the settings should really hurt either. The user space packages just wouldn't have have all the features they could have. But the mini symtab and dwz compression for those small tools are IMHO not major features. > Also, I was trying to understand Laura's previous patch with the -p changes. > It looked like the output of the application's debuginfo binaries did not > match with other programs.

We are working on that in a more generic way for all packages, so hopefully that will all become easier in the future: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SubpackageAndSourceDebuginfo (Yes, that was originally proposed for Fedora 26, obviously we missed that...)
