Yes, I believe I mentioned that they are not germaine to the issue being discussed. (YaST allows one to specify that debug packages should be installed with regular packages.) I'm not sure why those particular debug packages didn't get installed.
I am using Debian and here they are optional and are not installed automatically when I install tde-trinity (meta package) that pulls whole trinity desktop. I don't know how YaST works or how you configured it, but it does not make sense to pull those unless you want to debug. I am even not sure if they are build by default or one should change the build options. In Debian the default is without debugging symbols, which usually go into such packages, but it could be a different configuration in your case.
