Also, I think it would be easier to add another sub-package that includes all the branding for a particular package, than to move the branding into a central package.
For the initial creator of the distribution it is easier to add sub-packages, yes. But for somebody who wishes to provide a different branding for one special product, one RPM is simpler. So the solution should work with both situations.
One central RPM will either - make all updates of branding impossible or - need relatively complicated scripts to allow installation of multiple brandings in parallel
IIRC it was decided on the dist meeting to keep it simple and use separate subpackages.
Please read again what I wrote. For a distribution/distributor several separate subpackages are the right way to go. For a Redistributor of one product, one RPM is what customers expect. So a solution should allow to merge all sub-packages into one package, and currently all suggestions allow this.
