That's definitely the appropriate spaceholder.

Yes I'll add it to my TODO list.
May be I'll have to check whether if it's supported by other RPM based distros
(Mandriva, RedHat, CentOS, Fedora  etc...) in order to make it robust,
i.e. ignoring i tif not supported.

Would you be kind enough to file a feature request and assign it to me?

I'll try to bundle this during my next CPackRPM working session.
