That's not what I was referring to... What does the old rpm that you make
with --repackage contain? Is it identical to the original RPM that was
installed (implying that RPM keeps originals of every file it ever
installs :) or does it contain the current version (at the time of the
upgrade) of each file in the original RPM? Sort of a snapshot if you
will.
