I'd like to see a profile approach to allow different distributions to
generate spec files tuned for ther packaging rules. One could then define
a profile for Fedora and EPEL-6 like not to generate BuildRoot stuff, and
EPEL-5 to generate the code etc. The profile becames then a set of features
(generate-buildroot ∈ EPEL-5, generate-buildroot ∉ FEDORA).
