You shouldn't be distributing the binary rpm produced by this, because 
you'd be breaking Adobe's licencing terms, see comments 143-146 of the 
same thread: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638477#c143

You might be OK shipping a rpm which includes Ray Strode's script and 
performs the modification post-install, but I wouldn't swear to it.
