 _Well done_ for bringing up rpm specfile groups which are obsolete, as
I'm sure you know, and have been since before PK existed.


I've been wondering -- is there any reason we don't get rpmbuild to
strip the group out of the package metadata when it generates a binary
RPM?

Smart, Apt and probably others still rely on those IIRC. If they aretaught to use comps, we can get rid of the rpm groups.
