If we're using cabal-rpm for packaging
then we really don't need to add rpm macros IMHO.
I am very much in favor of having good set of base macros (under /etc/rpm/).
I have developed some simple rpms using the macros posted by Yaakov and Jens
(which needed to be tweaked a bit), and was quite happy with the results. I
will share those in the following email.

I finally took a deep look at cabal-rpm (never actually used it
before!;) and realised that that is largely the source of all my
problems with the current guidelines...
Below is a patch against darcs head which backports most of my changes
to the guidelines to cabal-rpm. If we're using cabal-rpm for packaging
then we really don't need to add rpm macros IMHO.
Thanks for all the comments.
