Thanks Sarah!

  I asked on the #fedora IRC channel and a few folks did help (that's
how I narrows it down to that loop), the general feeling was to talk to
LINBIT folks. Personally, I am happy working with either, though I want
to admit straight up that I am fairly new to RPM packaging.

  If Nick has advice, I'll be happy to follow it, too. :)
