I'll have to look at this again... Maybe I misunderstood something.
Changing the name of the RPM is no big deal. And yes, it does set it
up as MTA.

Why? Are there licensing issues with daemontools and ucspi-tcp that
prevent me from distributing manpages with it? If there are, I'll
definately do it, but if there aren't, then I don't see why I should
make someone install two extra RPMs just for manpages (seems kinda
silly to me).

Not for Mandrake and not in binary form. I've used Bruce's RPM package
before and although it works great, it's not something that can be
installed without interaction like during a fresh system install off of
a CD-ROM (which is ultimately the aim here).
