Hi,
  Looking at this bug:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513459

got me thinking - would it be possible to have rpmbuild check all the 
content it is going to put into the rpm header to see if it is unicode 
decodable and abort if it is not?

It would save anyone handling it from w/i python  a lot of pain and 
suffering, I think.

Would it be possible?
