That may be the case, but it's possible that one of your dependencies
that's *not* your in-house stuff now has that as a requirement.

Interesting. I was looking to see if there was an ntp-devel, and ran
across this presentation:
<http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2010/presentations/summit/opensource-for-it-leaders/thurs/pwaterma-2-rpm/RPM-ifying-System-Configurations.pdf>.
On slide 40, he describes the .tgz going into an rpm:
Now we create a .tgz file containing the files going into
our RPM. Its contents look like this:
% tar tzf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/config-1.tgz
config-1/
config-1/etc/
config-1/etc/ntp.conf

You're sure that it's not in your .tgz?
