Why does it need to be moved to python-rpm-macros and a private
location? Can it be put in a separate package and kept in its existing
location in /usr/bin? Just installing the script straight into /usr/bin
(i.e. don't make it a proper Python distribution) and running the
current unittest-based tests shouldn't pose too much of a bootstrap
problem.
