[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Automatic (sub)package generators (#329)

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Having some of this support built-in RPM (or a set of standard macros) will be very useful for packages like `grub2`, that not only are split in different subpackages but also have architecture and firmware interface specific subpackages.

Fedora's [grub2.spec](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/blob/master/f/grub2.spec) file is relatively simple but that's because all the complexity is hidden in a [grub.macros](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/blob/master/f/grub.macros). It would be much better if RPM provided features that could be used instead of custom macros that only the package maintainers are able to follow.
