This issue should really be clarified. In the guidelines it is said
"The preferred value for the BuildRoot tag is"
so this looks like an almost must to me. I'll ask on the fedora-extras-list

Ok.

I think it is better to follow the guidelines, because this is a case
where they make sense, since there may be a 1.3 and there is no reason
to make an exception for this package anyway. Adding an epoch is also 
bad.
I also understand your local issue, but I think we should avoid as
far as possible that local issue interfer with fedora extras packaging.
Isn't there another solution for your upgrade path, like setting 
a Provide temporarily in your local repo? Otherwise I guess this issue 
should be submitted to the fedora-extras-list, since it is likely to be 
a situation that will happen again in the future.

If you insist. But I think that it really complicates things
needlessly.

Ok, makes sense.
