Exactly.  OpenJDK generating separate debuginfo files is very
inconvenient for RPM builds.

The OpenJDK build can't have any idea of what debuginfo files the
distro runtime requires, and indeed this may change.  There is more
than one mechanism for finding debuginfo.  Separating debuginfo is not
something that we want the OpenJDK build to do, and the most useful
thing that we could have is a switch to turn all of OpenJDK's
stripping and separate debuginfo off.  I expect the same applies to
all distros.
