I don't understand why the client/server and related scripts should be 
part of the runtime. They
collectively provide a wrapper for the stap program itself, so should 
they not be part of the same
section as %{_bindir}/stap?

Yes, avahi-tools is needed. nc is also currently used. How do I find out 
which package it comes in (if any)?
