Question #2:
Does anyone have a take on whether or not it's appropriate to use the
"-a" option to add binary files (like graphics) to a patch? I can't
recall ever seeing a patch distributed with one, and reading such a
thing probably does wonders for terminals (random escaped character
sequences) but the following page seems to indicate that it's an OK
practice:

In the RPM universe, it's normally better to make it a separate source
file rather than a patch.
