I am not the expert on the buildservice. I just worked on debuginfo for
autobuild, and I believe the build-service handles this in a similar way.

I believe the build service sets up a separate macro file that overrides
the optflags in the macros file from the rpm package.

When the debuginfo flag is set for the build, the optflags in the
override macro file should include "-g".

According to the build service roadmap
(http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Roadmap), debuginfo generation is
supported from within build-service version 1.0 (meaning that things
change then...).

I believe the build service will do the necessary stuff for you when the
debuginfo flag is used. But this remains an interesting question.
