This bug has now been fixed and will be included in release 1.2.0.

We include the docs because they are useful to users downloading the
software directly from dev.mysql.com, even if Fedora and other distros
can't redistribute them.

In Debian, recreating the tarball is done by the get-orig-source target
in debian/rules, so the manual work has to be done only once. After
that, it's all automatic. Is this different with RPMs in Fedora?

I'm not sure I understand. MySQL Utilities are included in the Workbench
tarball, or you can get them from the bzr repo on Launchpad.

I'm told that this is already fixed and will be included in release
1.2.0.

Great!

Not so great, but I hope you'll see improvement now that we have each
other's e-mail addresses. Just e-mail me if there are any issues that we
should address.

Thank you for maintaining the packages!
