Thanks Tom.

Yes, that's right, I don't particularly like the %{mingw_pkg_name} macro name,
it's just way too long and verbose. %{pkg_name} or %{name1} (like you've used
in many places) would be much more readable.

Besides, the current ("old") example spec file uses the literal name everywhere
and not the %{mingw_pkg_name} macro.

Compare yourself:
%files -n mingw32-gtk3
%files -n mingw32-%{mingw_pkg_name}

Yeah, that's my concern too. 

I'm planning to take a look at the -debuginfo subpackage generating macros soon
to see if it's possible to make them nicer. I'm pretty confident that I can get
rid of the need to manually insert %{?_mingw32_debug_package} in every spec
file. I'm thinking of having per-arch subpackages (mingw32-debuginfo and
mingw64-debuginfo) which are controlled by magical defines ('%define
mingw32_debug_package 1' and '%define mingw64_debug_package 1').
