Hi Dave,
Thank you for updating.

I checked your changes on systemtap.spec and found all above tools
were included in systemtap package instead of systemtap-runtime.
stap-find-servers seems to be used by client. If so, please move it
to under "%files runtime" section.

And also, could you make clear what packages are required for those
server/client scripts?
As far as I can see, it seems that avahi-tools is needed for those
scripts. in that case, it might be better to add those packages to
"Requires:" in "%package runtime" section.

Best regards,
