In the end it afaics makes a whole lot of work for a very small gain and 
thus I think I can spend my time on things that are more important for 
RPM Fusion.

BTW, here it poor mens scratch build for RPM Fusion: Kick of a build, 
watch it closely and kill it once the last arch finished (and before its 
downloaded -- if you miss that point drop me a line and I'll delete the 
package from the needsign repo)
