You're right, the script operates on SRPMs.  But these are not strictly 
speaking false positives - there *is* a newer SRPM by those names in FE6 than 
in F7.  OTOH, there's probably nothing that the maintainer can do about this 
as the F7 SRPMs are in the release (not updates) tree, so I'll whitelist them 
in the scripts.
