Not yet.  Since all of the scripts current in /extra/ are for cgf's 
packages, AND cgf will probably be the maintainer of the evenutal 
mknetrel package itself (he owns the CVS repo for it, after all <g>) 
then there's no real problem for HIS /extra/ scripts to continue living 
within the mknetrel package.

If he wants to move them over to gcc-*-src.tar.bz2 somewhere down the 
line, and have them unpack into /usr/src/mknetrel/extra or whatever, 
that's his decision -- and it won't really affect the rest of us.

Not really.  What if you download the mknetrel source ITSELF?  Where do 
you think THAT would go?  [*I* think this is the reason Red Hat uses 
/usr/src/redhat/ for RPM building, and Mandrake uses /usr/src/RPM (all 
caps)...that way, /usr/src/rpm/ could be where the rpm source itself lives)
