Subpackaging, a workaround for lack of package review resources (though special thanks to zebob for his continued support with many package reviews), is actually a big overhead when it comes to updating all the packages (though I have improved cabal-rpm's handling of subpackaging considerably), so getting rid of them would be a really big help. We should continue to work on that continuously. Let me know if you have any feedback or queries. Thanks, Jens
