Well, a patch may be needed to disable the usage of the bundled code in
makefiles and such. But yes, the actual removal of the bundled code should
be done by a rm -rf in %prep and not by a patch bundling yet another copy of
the huge library with prepended - signs. ;-) The patch should not contain
file or directory removals.
