Note that I've requested a lot of that stuff to go away multiple times.
I even have support from upstream (CC:ed on the message) to bring sanity
to the package. Upstream has started to tell people to ignore the fedora

Please do not drop this package from Fedora. I'd gladly help to make
it compliant to the Fedora Guidelines, as I have done before, if Enricho
does not want to do this.
