Yes. Try rpmbuild --showrc |grep enable_debug on the build machine.

I've actually done the reverse - turned off debug packages with this in
either ~/.rpmmacros or the spec file:

%define debug_package %{nil}

(Most people seem to want to do that, based on Google's results!)

To set the default the other way seems to require adding this:

%define _enable_debug_packages 1

based on this search:
