Ok '%debug_package %{nil}' was the culprit. rebuilding without it gives
sane sizes..

-bash-2.05b$ ls -l mozilla-1.7.3-0.1.* mozilla-debuginfo-1.7.3-0.1.1.i386.rpm 
-rw-r--r--  1 test test 82646274 Sep 15 15:40 mozilla-1.7.3-0.1.0.i386.rpm

-rw-r--r--  1 test test  9354308 Sep 16 11:30 mozilla-1.7.3-0.1.1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 test test 90738406 Sep 16 11:32 mozilla-debuginfo-1.7.3-0.1.1.i386.rpm
