IOW,

For the vegastrike-data package to get into FC-6 (which it needs to be to stop 
broken deps) I should request an FC-6 branch and build it there, correct?

I guess I could still leave it disttagless, so that people upgrading from FC6 
-> F7 will not need to download 100 Mb just for the fun of it?
