i find the reason but don't know how to solve. the problem was
%{?buildsubdir} which is not defined in the header part of the spec file
just in and after the %setup section. which means it's very hard to
define any kind of macro for __debug_install_post in the header part
without know which directory contains the compiled code so where have to
extract the debug info...
any tip?
