I maintained a slowly evolving approach in Mandriva for some

It uses the texlive perl modules to do most of the work, and only does
some filtering on contents, choosing %doc (what texlive calls doc
and source), extracting dependencies or license information, %post
scripts, etc.
This looks really handy. I wonder though about the need to really have
one RPM per texlive package.Would it not be a reasonable middle ground
to generate one SRPM per texlive collection?

It is quite a lot of work, so, it would be better to have a SIG
and
not let only one person handle all packages.
I would be interested in joining such a SIG and effort.
