That's not actually true, the rpm info files and whatnot are located
in the packages directory in the source tree. Sure, some people have
their own set of package scripts customized for a particular linux
distribution or operating system, but in many cases we also have them
in the tree. They're not automated as part of the build, but I don't
recall anyone ever asking for that...
