yes, that's guaranteed to work since you can always feed
jigdo[-lite] a higher level directory location as long as the rpms are
under there *somewhere*. the only drawback to that is if you have
several devices mounted under /media, then specifying simply "/media"
will cause a scan of *all* of that. being more specific will always
save you a bit of time.
this issue inspired a bugzilla report once upon a time, which
suggests that it's still an issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426847
unless someone knows differently. i guess i could have tested that
earlier.
