What is this? First episode of "Battle of the Packages"? Actually, at
fedora.us, a package which modifies the files included within another
package in %post would be unacceptable for me and a "blocker "criterion
[*].  Surely the Fedora Project will find the proper solution for this
very minor "tripwire vs. specspo" issue. And that is either to remove the
tripwire entries from the specspo package or to fix them together with the
%description in the tripwire package. If the tripwire package doesn't
have any worse issues, great!
