I don't think that's necessary. Building a package for RHvoice is easy
enough. Additionally as a distribution maintainer (that ships RHvoice)
I by far prefer to provide to users packages that can be managed by the
distribution, with source available innten distribution's repository
(TBH  I do some repackaging of official binaries, but not much. pandoc
comes to mind.)

Cheers, Didier
