Two-stage extract and RPM support?

[Hauke Fath <hf%spg.tu-darmstadt.de@localhost>]

Hi,

I am working on an update for a linux binary (IBM TSM @ wip). Until now,
the RPM archives were shipped individually, but 5.2.5 comes as a tar ball
containing the RPMs.

Now, it seems that specifying EMUL_PKG_FMT=rpm and the RPM_* variables
disables the magic for unpacking the tarball, so that either the tar ball
is extracted and the resulting RPMs ignored, or the tarball is ignored and
the RPMs are not found.

Any knobs to tweak here short of rolling my own in post-extract and/or
pre-install?
