Katello doesn't support uploading DRPMs.  I think what you are seeing
with regard to them 'becoming' rpms is just a side effect of the fact
that drpms look a lot like regular rpms.  They have an rpm header just
like a normal rpm. 
Since katello only supports uploading rpms to yum repos and what you are
uploading *looks* like an rpm, it is uploaded as an rpm and pulp imports
it as such.

We would need an RFE to support such a feature.
