On some other project derived from meego, create images without a
package included in meego package groups. That functionality is provided
by alternative package, and you cannot replace original with Provides:
for mic.

Actually I don't think that any decent package could be built without
tarball accidentally:
Source: pointing to something non-existing.
%setup fails, and also patches cannot be applied.
%build fails.
%install fails.
%files section cannot be satisfied.

Meta package does not have a single line of code. I wouldn't be
surprised if somebody wrote letter-to-letter copy of the minimal spec
file without looking at the original. With 329 bytes, including all
keywords, I don't think that this can be considered much of an "original
work". But well, if that's how it is, I'm ok with it.
