I noticed some odd things about the whole brp-python* setup : for 
instance, there are two very similar versions of brp-python-hardlink: 
one from rpm-build-4.11.1-3.fc19.x86_64 and another from 
redhat-rpm-config-9.1.0-46.1.fc19.noarch ; they seem to be doing the 
same thing, the only difference is
<        pyo="${pyc%c}o"

No big deal but it looks like someone who knows this area should review 
and/or clean it up.
