Description:
In official repository http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/MySQL80_community/x86_64/index.html
there is no rpm of MySQL server with striped debuginfo and separate rpm with debuginfo.

How to repeat:
- go to official yum repository at http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/MySQL80_community/x86_64/index.html
- download and install latest MySQL server 8 version (mysql-community-server-8.0.12-1.el7.x86_64.rpm)
- you can see a lot of debug contents with objdump:
Sections:

Suggested fix:
Its critical for our production installations because of size of the version with debuginfo (666214K) vs. with stripped debuginfo (57612K).

It would be prefferable to have separate debuginfo package.

Fixed in 8.0.17.

To reduce the download size and disk footprint of mysql-community-server
Linux packages, debug binaries and plugins have been moved to separate
packages for these platforms:

* EL8, Fedora: The mysql-community-server package with debug binaries and
  associated plugins is now split into a mysql-community-server package
  without debug binaries or plugins and a mysql-community-server-debug
  package with debug binaries and plugins.

* Debian: The mysql-community-server package with debug binaries and
  associated plugins is now split into a mysql-community-server package
  without debug binaries or plugins, a mysql-community-server-debug
  package with debug binaries, and a mysql-community-test-debug package
  with debug plugins.

In all cases, the debug packages are dependent on the corresponding
mysql-community-server package.
