+        read the .spec file instead of changelog in determining packaging

+        Third, conceptual, difference (for non-native packages) is that you may
+        have packaging files in an orphan branch, without development sources:
+        i.e. you develop code in 'patch-queue' branch that doesn't contain any
+        packaging files, and, do 'pq-rpm export' to 'packaging' branch that only
+        contains packaging files (.spec file, patches etc.) but no sources.
