(No, this does not really answer your specific question.)

"That we need facilities in the packaging system to be able to make
such a change in a single place, so that it would affect all
packages."

I suppose the Flock ... discussions ... about using Conary to build
RPMs have gone nowhere (I at least can't find a working canonical
Conary download page or SCM, so that's that) - but we do need to
improve the tooling, with or without having Conary to fall back on.
