Because "rawhide" < "5" in rpm ordering.

A better way to deal with this would be to give the rawhide package a
_version_ between

	  5 < version < 5.90

The rationale is that 5.90 will be the first test release of FC6 so
the version string should stay below this one. Maybe 5.5 would be a
good indicator of where the user is when using rawhide.
