[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Use full build template (#480)

While the ability to build *.deb packages from *.spec recipes seems like a wonderful unifying concept, there's very few (essentially zero) users asking for this feature, either now or historically.

Debian has the administrative controls to enforce discipline in using templates for builds.

There are no equivalent administrative controls for rpm based distributions, which has led to a great deal of diversity in macro dialects between distributions, with no objective progress in unifying the dialects because of the huge amount of work involved modifying spec files, with very little perceived benefit to distributions trying to compete for mind share and profit.
