I think the whole conversation can be found in this thread:
http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/tex-live/2007-August/014596.html
and the upstream person is Karl Berry.

> # Source1 is http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/inst/archive/texmf-var.zip
> Source1:	texlive.texmf-var-%{version}.zip

Yes, I will happily update the tarball as soon the legal things are clear.
