So, as another wrinkle for your original list - rpm packaging turns
out to be OK for directories but not regular files.

Yes I noticed that, but didn't want to pick on the rpm packaging too much ... they are all broken in different and bizarre ways.

Hah - yes, agreeed - we definitely should drive as much as possible
from the makefiles.

I've started with some scripts (aiming at a QA test) that picks the non-default style of install lines from the source makefiles and compares the uid, gid and mode with what is installed.

I plan to use this to drive assorted stakes through the hearts of the packaging scripts and control files.
