Apologies for that, however, this is not tested in any of our 
autobuilder scenarios or otherwise, and if it's not tested, then it's 
not broken. :-)

I would recommend you add some kind of test to this patchset to make 
sure it doesn't happen again (for example, when I would update rpm to a 
new upstream release).
