This is a bug we discussed today on the big bug review:
http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1196
Basically, we specify RPMTAG_GROUP, but don't say what values are
allowable. Each distribution seems to have its own group list, with
little overlap. Upstream rpm has a canonical list, but distros that
aren't Red Hat don't seem to follow that list. And it seems that a
legal package must specify a group.
We need to give better guidance here. What should we say?
