Thanks Ralf, your comments are much welcomed and your advice much
needed.

The Packager:-tag is only used conditionally if built for something
else than Fedora. (One of the two questionable conditionals.) rpmlint
obviously does not honour conditionals.

Regarding the conditionals: these have been introduced in accordance
with the dist-tag guidelines at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DistTag
in order to use the same .spec file for Mandrake, PLD and possibly SuSE.

If it is the view of the Fedora Extras project that conditionals may not
be used to prepare generic .spec files, this has to be stated in the
packaging guidelines and specifically in the dist-tag guidelines, because
the current text only triggers a programmer-type like me to do something
generic. I will not be the last one to do this mistake...

It should then say something like: "only use conditionals for
spec files intended for Fedora, Red Hat and RHEL, do not try to use
conditionals to cook generic spec files for other distributions, make 
unique spec files for each distribution instead". (If this is what is
implicitly meant, and then I will change the spec accordingly.)

The rest of the things are fixed, enjoy libnjb-2.2.1-4 on the same
URL (we are making progress, are we not?)
