No, it's not. It serves me a different purpose. First - the resulting
rpm is different, second - it does not remove the package from my
system, third - it does not give rpm the same name thus making it
impossible to upgrade it accidentally. It was created for my own use and
it's more useful to me than rpm's embedded repackager.
