they can just rpm2cpio the src.rpm's..... much more complete.
That would be repackaging, not packaging.
no it's extracting the source and patches from the src.rpm

I am talking about software maintained by MeeGo; for which

will be situations where the distribution team needs to put a temporary
patch in/
