This really is insane. The source tar.gz contains
openssh-blacklist-0.7$ du -h -c -s *
4.0K CONTENT
16K COPYING
26M fingerprints
797M private
358M public
1.2G total
The SPEC file just does
mv fingerprints/* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/%{name}
So there is 1.2 GB of data there that is never used for any purpose
whatsoever, its not even being used to build the final data that
goes into the binary RPM.
