certainly fouls up the compilation, deps and smoke-testing process.

Well - never did play foul on any of the tinderboxes/buildslaves.

       Do we use EPM for building the generic Linux builds though ? and if so,
should we ? ;-) and/or is that hyper-useful for tinderboxes / etc. ? In
general I'd prefer to default to --disable-epm anyway.

What makes the packaging complicated is not epm, it is the huge
perl-stuff that is surrounding it. (not because it is perl, but that
it is overengineered, more complicated than necessary, etc.)

So whether you call epm <epm'slistfile> or rpmbuld -bb <rpmspecfile>
doesn't make a real difference to me. The way how that epmlistfile/the
specfile is created is.
