As far as I can tell, this means it should be safe to get this file back in (in 
its LPPL version) if it really has been removed. spot?

Sounds good (except for the wait).

Unfortunately, I don't know who the upstream contact spot (Tom Callaway) spoke 
to was, I only know what spot posted to this bug and to the mailing lists.

As for the tarballs, the current specfile has this to say:
# Source0 comes as a result from scripts that look for files in teTeX and 
assigns appropriate
# TeXLive styles to it so that no style present in teTeX will be missing in 
TeXLive.
# it contains expanded packages from 
ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/inst/archive/
# Scripts that are used for that are available at 
http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/texlive/scripts/
Source0:	texlive.texmf-%{version}.tar.bz2
# Source1 is http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/inst/archive/texmf-var.zip
Source1:	texlive.texmf-var-%{version}.zip
so the canonical sources for the current tarball are the packages in archive/. 
Since the Fedora tarball is recomposed anyway, I guess this means Jindrich Novy 
can/should also take care of the updating, right?
