I tend to agree in general, but it's not entrely black and white, this
is a special case.  If you look into the specfile, it is nothing more
than copying 3 big zipfiles into place.  That cannot cause much
differences in the results no matter where it's built.  One could also
argue that this package should not exist in the first place... (but IIRC
in the first release, it was a bit more than just copying the zips, and
things may change again in the future).

But it's not that big a deal.  We still have the option not to build a
new one from CVS for Real-Extras (or drop the package) if that's what's
considered best.  I don't have strong opinions here; perhaps leaning
slightly towards what you suggest above though.  And if there will be a
new build just for the no-op fdr+0epoch changes, I'll gladly reassign
all possibly forthcoming, related bug reports to you because my opinion
is not strong enough here so I'd committed this change myself ;)
