Yes, that was the case in my example.  Those guys are installing
emacs-19.34 with make install, and keep the stuff in /usr/src.  When
20.2 comes out, they first cd in /usr/src/emacs-19.34, type `make
uninstall', then remove the 19.34 sources, unpack, build and `make
install' those in 20.2.  Not quite RPM, but useful.
