... probably not, in general.  They (packages built on Pinstripe for
a target 6.2 host) will pick up dependencies out of pinstripe --
xinetd, glibc version, a false file dependency '/etc/init.d' from
our experimentation in this regard -- which cause them to need a
clueter of other pinstripe packages -- more work in moving to the
next version than they should.

By building on a 6.2 box from pinstripe SRPMS, this is avoided to a 
large degree.
