I meant that packaging guidelines state that we should avoid using Epoch if
possible. This was possible with this rename because it was enough to specify
epoch in provides/obosletes, no need to actually specify one for this package.
It was there from way back, probably when no guidelines on Epoch use existed.

Current guidelines state (2nd link from Chen):
If the provided package had an Epoch set, it must be preserved in both the
Provides and Obsoletes. It may and should be removed from the actual new
package.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind :-) I suppose 2 commands were originally mkdir &&
cp and I just converted them to install.
