Hmm, (1, 4) did you notice the broad range of distros, that BS supports - 
including various debian, ubuntu and SuSE commercial releases...

(2) Building against various python distros is a matter of including that 
python version within that project. 

(3) I usually do path tinkering in spec files with sed scripts without 
modifying the source nor creating a patch.

Finally, setting up a private BS is a bit of a hassle and non rpm based 
packaging adds some complexity, though.

You're free to do whatever you want of course - I just wanted to show some 
interesting alternatives to the ordinary build from tarballs..
