We ended up deciding to delete it - the sources are sort of ad-hoc and
it's better to work on more sustainable future than digging through the
past.

(I've saved a copy in my home directory, and I'll do the same for any
other binaries we remove)

Thanks for pointing it out.

The OBS/Kiwi built one looks generally good to me - one concern I have
(and this applies to OBS in general) is "what if OBS goes down"?  Simply
downloading the 3 files linked from the kiwi page and putting them next
to the binary would be a good idea I think.
