It's not acceptable to modify the upstream tarball.  You must take a pristine
tarball from upstream, untar it, and make your changes via patching or
sed/perl/iconv/whatever in %prep.  But the tarball that's in the SRPM must be
identical to the tarball I can download from the Source: URL.  (There are
certain exceptions to this such as when the upstream tarball contains something
we can't legally distribute, but this is not one of those cases.)  Also, note
that upstream hasn't updated this package in nine years; I think the chances are
slim that you'll be able to push patches to them.

At this point the package looks OK, but I simply cannot approve it with a
modified tarball.
