Unfortunately, I dimly remember seing the macro call appear in the past
in the summary shown in packagedb or koji (don't remember the package
name, and it may not occur with new koji/packagedb versions). This is
purely cosmetic (the actual summary is fine, there's just a strange line
after it), but I could understand people not liking it. I'd gladly get
rid of the current macro hack if rpm made it possible.
