Re: comment 7 - I agree, it's better to explicitly list the egg in %files so
that future failures will be caught.   And we both agree it's GPLv2+.

I disagree about the name "trash"; I think it should be /usr/bin/trash. Yes,
the guidelines recommend caution for short names, and I agree with those
guidelines. But I think the idea here is that trash is to make this the
*standard* name for this functionality... changing it to "trash-put" will
diminish its utility as a standard name across distros.

Note, for example, that Debian uses the name "trash" for the executable of this
very package, and Debian has at least as many naming-conflict concerns as
Fedora:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/all/trash-cli/filelist
Ubuntu also calls it "trash":
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/trash-cli/filelist

If there are eventually multiple programs named "trash", we can make them
alternatives and invoke the alternatives setup.
