That's exactly where I pulled the srpm from to build it.

No, but we haven't established a formal strategy for pushing a src.rpm
for something 'changed' like this yet. I think we need to work out if
vault is the right place, and how we push things there.  There are a
handful of packages for aarch64 that are problematic like this. The
qemu-kvm-ev package, ovmf, and the kernel (though that has a workflow
workflow established, just not formally documented on the wiki) are the
ones jumping immediately to mind. I believe everything else is stock.
