The text in section "22.2.4.3" below "Table 22-10. File Info Tag  
Values" at

	http://dev.linux-foundation.org/betaspecs/booksets/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/pkgformat.html#AEN36803

does not specify that filenames carried in either representation  
__MUST__ be sorted
alphabetically. In fact, any rpm package without sorted file names  
will have
UNDEFINED behavior when rpm tools are used to install the package.
