[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] %generate_buildrequires should not trigger the debuginfo machinery (Issue #1870)

[Panu Matilainen]

Oh, this one's rather special.

Debuginfo processing triggers when two conditions are met: the package is not a `noarch` package, and there is no `%build` section. For whatever reason, the main package here is arch specific instead of `noarch`, and so the first condition is met (`noarch` sub-packages are a wacko special case in rpm and do not count for this purpose at all). That package has no `%build` section at all, and *that* is how it avoids the debuginfo machinery in the first place, but apparently `%generate_buildrequires` counts as a "build script" for the purposes of that check. Maybe there's a fallthrough switch-case someplace, dunno. But that does indeed seem like a clear-cut bug.
