I've never seen yum complain about installing kernel debuginfo for older
kernels, but I also doubt I've done that operation much.  I might have a
vague memory of that happening, if so I would have just removed the
newer debuginfo by hand and run the script again.

BTW, there is really no point in my keeping the older fc5/fc6 stuff in
my script,  I just haven't bothered taking it out.

You can certainly see how I'm handling the fedora repos by looking at my
script.
