Might as well try to deal with any other pending emacs packages.  Which is just this one, I think.

Some interesting bits:

This:
  head -28 ~/tmp/ebib-1.3.1/ebib.el | sed 's/;;//g' > COPYING
has about zero chance of working.

rpmlint says:
   emacs-common-ebib.noarch: E: zero-length 
   /usr/share/doc/emacs-common-ebib-1.3.1/COPYING
Fallout from the above.

   emacs-common-ebib.noarch: E: description-line-too-long modifying entries),    
   searched, and saved. Obviously, it is also possible to start
This goes to exactly 80 characters; might be nice to wrap at 72.  I don't know what rpmlint will allow before complaining.

   emacs-common-ebib.noarch: W: non-standard-group Applications/Office
   emacs-ebib.noarch: W: non-standard-group Applications/Office
   emacs-ebib-el.noarch: W: non-standard-group Applications/Office
   xemacs-ebib.noarch: W: non-standard-group Applications/Office
   xemacs-ebib-el.noarch: W: non-standard-group Applications/Office
Group is irrelevant these days.

   emacs-ebib.noarch: W: no-documentation
   emacs-ebib-el.noarch: W: no-documentation
   xemacs-ebib.noarch: W: no-documentation
   xemacs-ebib-el.noarch: W: no-documentation
These are OK.

I know there's a bunch of stuff in the emacs packaging guidelines that isn't in this package.  Things like the versioned dependencies on emacs(bin) and xemacs(bin) and the pkgconfig calls to extract that info.  Over time I've lost any emacs expertise I ever had, but the guidelines do have a reasonable explanation of why those dependencies are necessary.  But I guess you should know better than most.  Are they needed in this package?
