The reason I still want to be able to build standalone CTDB is to be able
to automated cluster builds and nightly tests.  This is much easier when
building RPMs.  That's how we noticed that the packaging was broken with
the latest origin-master.

After converting to waf build all the makerpms scripts in packaging are
currently broken.  There is no other way to build samba+ctdb RPMs.  Till
that is resolved I would prefer to retain the ability to build CTDB rpms.
So even though we are not going to package CTDB independently it is very
useful to build CTDB rpms for continuous testing.
