I take it you've never tried Debian then ;)
really the packaging is only as good as the spec/control file info, the same applies to
the cygwin packages etc. Debian is so "good" at this not because the technology
is behind the package management there is so good*, it is because the packaging rules are
rather explicit, strict, and enforced.

I do not know if the SuSE packages are build using the spec from the GRASS
source code, but you could check the rpm/ source code dir and submit any fixes
you have.

I think you may be flattering my expertise if you think I'm competent
for source code fixes! :-)
I should however say, wrt YaST on OpenSuSE, that it's very ignorant of
Grass and only returns a very ancient version (5.0.3-120).
