They aren't stripped at this time, as %define debug_package %{nil}
is used.

It would seems accurate. But from my needs, maybe the alternative will have to
cover the version as dvdrip seems to request rar/unrar 2.xx (and not 3.xx).
So as i don't think we can use alternative on a rename base (rar-> rar-3.80),
maybe we will have to use it on a path name base. (/usr/bin/rar ->
/usr/bin/rar-3.xx/rar )

I'm not well aware of what sfx modules are usefull for (would just use rar from
dvdrip actually) . I'm opened to suggestions here.

If you want to help implementing the above, please, feel free..I will lack some
time on the rar/unrar area until few weeks...
