Nah, because that way, things that share sources (such as different
kernel packages) would not be able to get disk-space (on server side)
saving benefits and also some packages (I presume you intended %{name}
to be the one from the spec?) will have multiple binary sources.



But now I think about it, if 2+ packages do share the same binary, how
do we know it's OK to actually delete the binary from the binrepos? We'd
have to check every single packages sha1.lst file to see if it used
it... that doesn't sound ideal....
