I've never heard about nopreprpm10, but it is more important to say where
you build the package because debuginfo generator is tightly dependant on
the _setup_ in packages like 'rpm', 'redhat-rpm-config', etc.
Have a look at `rpm --eval %debug_package` output to see what happens
there, and to see why it is needed. Then, study your system/user rpm macros.
On my system (Fedora 27 x86_64), there's is (in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros):
...
%install %{?_enable_debug_packages:%{?buildsubdir:%{debug_package}}}\
%%install\
%{nil}
...
. so the %debug_package content is automatically hooked right before
%install by default, but only if %_enable_debug_packages is defined (the
default though). Then, you need to have all the stuff done correctly in
%__debug_install_post (namely /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh should be
%called) but this appears to be OK on your system.
