Maybe the true factory set should have that dependency, but the version for 11.1 should not?
You actually would want the -debuginfo for better backtrace, not the -debugsource.
However the recommended way is:
If you see a crash-> install debuginfo packages -> recreate the crash
That is actually not necessary with KDE4.3. There is a time between the crash and the time the backtrace is analyzed, at which point it is sufficient to install the needed debuginfo packages, and there is even a button for recreating the backtrace if it turns out more debuginfo packages are needed. I expected there would be also support for automatically getting the needed debuginfo packages installed using zypper, but that hasn't made it in KDE4.3.
Sometimes it might not be recreatable, but then you have debuginfos installed and it will be a better backtrace the next time around. (You could actually install the debuginfos before you get the backtrace window in drkonqi, but this is a bit more complicated.)
