Yeah well I realized I could do that.  But what I've been doing lately
is trying to use brs as the release tag on the end of stuff that I'm not
sending over to you guys and mdk on things that I do.  Sometimes I put
out packages that are originally cooker for other Mandrake distribution
releases (e.g. 8.2/ppc).  When I do this I try to use brs instead of mdk
so that when the next release comes along the Mandrake package of the
same version will take preceidence over mine.  It's probably more
accurate to set the Vendor tag to my own name rather than Mandrakesoft.
But I'd rather only have to edit the release tag to do that.  I'm just
being lazy and trying to minimize the changes I made to cooker packages
that I'm rebuilding for other releases. :)
