I'd try to work out something with upstream that they maybe announce a new
testing snapshot in that directory. Someone said other distros are using it,
so you can't be alone in wanting some feedback on when you can test a
new "release". Somehow I'd think we need to account for that location as the
pickup point inside the specfile so others know where this came from.

That depends on if a new kdepim package suddenly quits working for me in
F8. :)
