It appears not! My reasoning was that as unifont-viewer was split out from unifont-fonts, unifont-viewer-debuginfo would be generated, but it appears that is not how that works. Is there any way to make that work, or should I just drop it in the next release, or a new -RELEASE? There's only a single debuginfo package generated for each source package. It's unclear to me that finer granularity would be very useful. unifont-viewer seems to be just a script, anyhow, so wouldn't have any useful debug information. I don't think this is of any great importance, so fixing it in the next release seems fine.
