Sorry I only saw this now. I think this is simply a bug in dnf.
dnf debuginfo-install really should do the right thing by default:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494628

There is a patch, but the dnf maintainer doesn't seem to like it. The
next version of rpmbuild will generate a soft depends Recommends
between debuginfo and debugsource packages, which should pull in
debugsources automatically. But of course that needs a rebuild of every
package and won't help you in Fedora 27.

Cheers,

Mark
