Np. Could you please sent a list of packages we are speaking about? I'll 
convert them and commit into git.

BTW how much conditionalized the .spec files should be? In other words, 
what Puppet in what version of Fedora/EPEL are you going to maintain? 
Looking into puppet.spec, I see there is already plenty of conditions 
for different Fedoras, is it worth of keeping them? For example, there 
are conditions for EPEL, but as I understand recent discussions, it 
seems to be quite impossible to update Puppet in EPEL, therefore use 
this .spec for EPEL.

Of course I can keep everything as it is now and add special conditions 
for F19+. Just wanted to present you with options ;)
