Thanks Ralf, valid comments. I don't know the answers off the top of my head but
I can provide some further background.

The purpose of this submission is to support GDAL (which is currently trying to
get approved). GDAL includes an internal copy of libgeotiff. The debian folks
don't have a separate libgeotiff package, they distribute GDAL with the internal
libgeotiff. However, reading the Fedora guidelines, it appears that the
preference is not to use "hidden" packages where possible - hence this submission.

Note also that the proj package also uses the epsg data and is currently part of
Extras. I assume the same issue will affect that package.
