Don't be to hard on yourself. We really need the manpower and appreciate your work. And I've been screwing up the autopackages fror a few releases now, so you aren't alone. ;)
Yeah, Linux in general makes this process a lot less intuitive than it should be.
Jean-Francois, perhaps a good way forward would be to use the same binaries inside both the autopackage and the static RPMs. That way, you can benefit from the tools we've written to automatically detect and correct such problems yet people who want an RPM and nothing else are still happy. It means you and Aaron can share the workload also, freeing up more time for actual Inkscape hacking.
I expect Aaron would be happy to send you a pre-made tarball of the RPMs, or alternatively you can just run the autopackage with the -x switch to extract the contents. These can then be turned into an RPM.
