It seems like they contain more than just the "binary" bits, also
including most of the source tree including things like setup.py and the
raw po files that shouldn't be needed at all at runtime.  Is this
intentional or just something that should be fixed up in bundlebuilder?

What proportion of activities don't use bundlebuilder?  All the ones
I've looked at have, but that is admittedly a small-ish sample set

That's a quick fix that I can get into upstream rpm once we are agreed
on going in that direction much like we already do for a few other
things.  

Going to hold up with my other packages for the moment so that we can
try to get some of these things ironed out and thus have simpler
packages rather than a lot of packages with manual kludges that we then
take out later
