Done for the duplicate, and 4 others for bdist_rpm (you should see
messages and counter if not correct.)

There are also bug reports for bdist_rpm. Close these too?
2945 4495 5474 644744 5875 (test failure)

How about any of the other feature requests (there are about 36 others
open for distutils). Should they be retargeted to disutils2?
