I guess you are talking about kernel-devel-*.rpm
(and linux-headers-.deb).

They are not useful for building external modules
written in Rust since they do not contain *.rmeta etc.
I am not caring about that because Rust support is not
mature enough yet.

This series does not touch binary packages,
rather it just changes how the source package is created.

I stopped hard-coding the top-level directories.
The resulting source package still contains all check-in files
under rust/, so it is good from the source package perspective.

5/5 changed the behavior because rpm-pkg re-uses the
*.src.rpm generated by srcrpm-pkg.

Having *.src.rpm in the kernel tree seems Redhat's preference.
Commit 8818039f959b2efc0d6f2cb101f8061332f0c77e
added --define='_srcrpmdir $(srctree)'.

In contrast, binary rpm files are generated under rpmbuild/RPMS/.
I want to fix this inconsistency, though.
