Well, ideally we'd like the majority of the file to be owned by
fedora-release and then just add the one or two additional fields
specific to the products programmatically.

I suppose though that we could just carry complete duplicates in each
fedora-release-* package. Particularly if we end up adding a
fedora-release-nonproduct (or however we name it) package to solve the
depsolving issues as suggested by James Antill.
