Hello,

some small issues:

These conventions should allow the following:

- Easy replacement of all branding contents

- Figuring out which branding is used in a distribution to check that
  everything is properly branded (e.g. rpm -qa '*-branding-opensuse*'
  should be empty on an openSUSE distribution)

I'd say it should _not_ be empty.
Maybe the better command is
rpm -qa '*-branding*' |grep -v -- "-branding-opensuse"

...
- Novell likes to release based on the openSUSE distribution their
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.  Thorsten is tasked with changing all
occurrences of "openSUSE" with "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server".
...
Branding-enabled packages provide its branding in a separate package.
This technique is useful for:
- Providing custom branding images.
- Providing custom default bookmarks.

... and changing product names as listed in the usecase quoted above ;-)

Christian Boltz
