thanks! I'm gonna go ahead and file an RM bug for the following pkgs
too: yum createrepo python-lzma yum-metadata-parser mock yum-utils
dtc-xen deltarpm

they are a closed set (no external dependencies outside that set,
tested via `dak rm -Rn list_of_pkgs`) of obsolete "redhat-related",
python2, packages.
