Hey Nick,
it was actually RPM ticket, not FPC one: http://rpm.org/ticket/883
My idea was actually only running the build once and have functionality to dynamically generate arbitrary number of subpackages during the build. I think it was you who commented on that idea with a thought that we could have one specfile and build it multiple times, perhaps with a macro defined to different values.
