Are you reviewing this per rpm or do you have automated scripts? Why
would you bother how it is done unless it gives a broken rpm on installed
machines?
My hope is that people interested in this can at some point clean up
spec-files, but this should not be pushed onto other developers who
only care to look at functionality within rpms. Let's keep this modular
from a developer resource issue. ;-)
