Equally silly question: why should this be necessary on what should
already be a clean/buildable tree?  It's a packaging problem that has
been around since we went to the 2.4.

It should be expected that a kernel-source package contains a tree in
which it is possible to do:

rpm -Uvh kernel-source*
cd /usr/src/linux
cp ~/kernel/config .config
make oldconfig
make bzImage modules modules_install

There should be no files in the package that would not be present after
make mrproper.
