Correction: like FC, we only keep compressed symbol list, not line numbers.
So overhead is 0.5% for the whole /usr according to RH.

My own tests:
- perl-URPM: 0.7%
- rpm: 0.01%
- glib2.0: 0.9%
- perl: 0.6%
- perl-Gtk2: 1.4%

I've also merged redhat feature about optimizing debug packages
(eg: 11.1% saved on rpm-debug)
