On a side note, be very careful what you put into .rpmmacros (or
etc/rpm/macros with lbuild) because it can cause builds to be
unreproducible.
IMO build reproduceability is a very important feature of RPM (well,
src.rpm's).

Defining %distribution and %package [1] is fine and could even be
considered good practice, but overriding/adding macros means the src.rpm
won't build on other hosts/environments than your own.

[1] e.g.:
%packager Pascal Bleser <guru@xxxxxxxxxxx>
%distribution SUSE LINUX 10.1 (X86-64)

just my 0.02?

cheers
