This sentence doesn't seem finished.

In Fedora rawhide rpm is build with rpm-4.14-rc in the build roots.
It shows zero fails. All 383 tests behaved as expected.
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/rpm/4.14.0/0.rc2.5.fc28/data/logs/x86_64/build.log
It also generates separate debugsource and debuginfo subpackages for rpm itself.

The tests should enable/disable various debug generation settings
explicitly.

Cheers,
