Well, we've already done something to address this, but for giggles,
I'll throw out one more idea that would have worked:

2.6.22-0.rc7.1.fc8 < 2.6.22-0.rc7_git2.1.fc8

But eh. What's there now worksforme, and it actually lines up better
with the official fedora packaging guidelines (we'll just ignore the
bazillion other things the kernel spec does that don't ;).

/me heads out the door for a mini-vacation, back Saturday...
