Building a kernel "--without debuginfo" is kind of broken

I got a 160MB kernel package and discovered that the kernel and
modules contained debug info. This seems to fix it, does anyone
see a problem with it?


     make -s mrproper
     cp configs/$Config .config
 
+    %if !%{with_debuginfo}
+    perl -p -i -e 's/^CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y$/# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not set/' .config
+    %endif
 
     Arch=`head -1 .config | cut -b 3-`
     echo USING ARCH=$Arch
