Damn, I looked at that particular case and everything was just fine with
it in my head... Stupid head.

Yup.

I might change the comment here slightly, since w/o %{?dist} right
there, its not quite the same as Release: anymore, but that's neither
here nor there for actually fixing the problem... :)

The %buildid is for one-off builds, there's a blurb at the top of the
spec where we request people to set it for their own custom builds for
identifying non-official kernels. Never set in official fedora builds.
The order of it in pkg_release probably doesn't matter too much, though
I personally like it at the very end. Otherwise, the changes look fine
to me.

The other crazy idea I had was to call 2.6.22-rc7
2.6.22-0.rc7.git0.1.fc8. Making fedora_build auto-increment is probably
cleaner, though it'd be nice to also have it reset on a kernel major
version rebase (either manually or automagically).
