FWIW I sent a patch to pjones yesterday to print a bit more more information
as each "template" is deemed "not suitable," if you add "--debug" to the grubby
commandline.  Hopefully that'll help debug this stuff a little better in the future.

It's built (in koji at least) for rawhide & F16 now as grubby-8.8
