There is a Private bug (because its a Customer reported issue):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=409041

That is aligned to be fixed in Satellite, therefore it should be fixed
in Spacewalk well before then.  This will likely be addressed while
working on the Cobbler/Koan Integration feature of Spacewalk 0.4:

Feel free to open a bug against Spacewalk so that you can see the
progress publicly.

Thanks.
