Mandrake spec files in our tree.
For what it's worth they don't work:

I'm maintaining entirely different packages for Mandrake. They trounce
on the Mandrake namespace by using @RELVER@mdk which makes for a
nightmare for users trying to use them and then upgrade their Mandrake
distro using the official packages.
There are separate versions for 9.1 and 9.2. Which is unnecssary, my
packages build on 9.1 and newer. There's no reason to have separate
package source files.
They aren't being maintained and are outdated, including things like
cvs2svn.
They don't follow Mandrake naming policies and as such don't integrate
well with Mandrake.
Is there any opposition to simply removing them from the tree? I'll be
happy to replace them with something based on my packages. Which will
have one single spec files for all the currently supported versions of
Mandrake.
If we remove them I'd like to remove them for the 1.0.x branch as well.

I'm all for removing and replacing with your own.

If the old ones have the problems you described, I don't see a reason to
keep them around until 1.1. There is no need to create bad blood on the
binary/packaging side during the time it takes us to get there.
