Interesting.  It looks like RPM now builds two RPMs, one with debugging
information and one without it.

Is the resulting DaVaW-debuginfo-1.2-1.i386.rpm RPM file actually correct?
That is, does it contain debugging versions of all .so files, plus 
whatever .py/data files are to be installed?

If the debugging RPM is correct, then the assertion should be removed and
both RPM files should be copied to dist/.
 
If the debugging RPM is wrong, then its generation should be suppressed.
I think this would be done by including '%debug_package %{nil}'
in the .spec file that bdist_rpm generates.
