I doubt if there is a debug package but I will check. I might be able
to produce one by modifying the source rpm though.
If this XEmacs is from Fedora Extras or Core, then yes, debuginfo
packages are available for all built packages, usually in the debug/
subdirectory of the binary RPM directories in repositories. If this is
the case and you're having problems finding the xemacs-debuginfo
package, ping me.
