	It might have to do with the new debug package build facility in RH9. 
I believe you can turn this off within the config file or by command
line.  I haven't upgraded to 9 quite yet[*] so I don't have the
specifics.  Check the 9 release notes.

[*] I have a fairly standard upgrade path that I have been using since
RH 2.1; I wait for a month or so, checking the list to make sure that
most of the glitches are ironed out; and also that the first wave of
errata are released.  I have waited up to 6 months to upgrade one time. 
I think it was from 5.x to 6.2.
