Yep, pretty much.

The only other thing I'd probably do at the rpm packaging stage is add a
patch to print an extra message when the user used "--lld iser" but it
wasn't found, along the lines of "please install <packagename> for iser
support". I don't know if that patch should go upstream, since I doubt
other packagers will use the same pkg name, or they may continue to
include the iser driver in the main package.
