Well, rc.pcmcia isn't a patch, its the actual script.  So in that sense,
it shouldn't be in a Patch: line in the specfile because it never gets
applied anywhere, it just gets copied to where it needs to go during %
install.  And it would be pretty silly to generate a patch with
"diff /dev/null rc.pcmcia" so that it _would_ be a Patch:.
