*debuginfo is usually built as a separate RPM in the spec files I've seen.
You can install it, or not, depending on if you'll be debugging the package
that it's associated with. It's not that useful in production AFAICT.

The version# thing is a bit odd. My first guess would be that the packages
were built with *slightly* different spec files, actually. None of the RPMs
I've built do this though. However, I'm very serious about ++ing the last
version number in the release every time I change the spec file and rebuild
the RPM.
