I noticed today that (at least in Extras) <package>-debuginfo does not
Require <package> to be installed. Is there a usecase for that?

That dependency would not be complete either, since package
%{name}-debuginfo may contain debug information for all sub-packages, too.

At least having the base pkg installed is better than none at all.

A "base package" with the same NEVR as the source rpm doesn't
necessarily exist at all.

Ah, good point.  Relatively rare, but they do exist.
