Hmm. Red Hat makes their debuginfo RPMs available in the normal course
of things (they're usually in a debug/ subdirectory of wherever you
find the RPMs) but I'm not sure whether Devrim et al have a policy about
whether to upload their debuginfo RPMs to the PG servers. They may feel
it's mostly a waste of bandwidth.

Anyway, the short answer is to download the source RPM and build it for
yourself ... most likely you want the source available anyway, if you're
going to be doing any debugging ...
