Build format is a *format*.  If you define it to a fixed
name, *all* created packages will share this name.
Including the debuginfo one.  Since all have the same name,
they overwrite each other and the final rpm will consists of
the last written package -- in this case it is debuginfo --
all others are lost.

To sum it up: don't do that then.
