[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] %setup -T -a 0 -a 1 doesn't extract %{S:0} (#462)

[Jeff Johnson]

Internalizing %autosetup in order to handle multiple identical position sensitive options in the already internalized %setup makes little sense: the goal was to permit users to change templating without recompiling rpm.

Better error messages can certainly be attempted by testing for non-existence of glue macros and using %error. Bullet-proofing failure modes through multiple layers of templating macros and shell and utilities is far beyond the functionality implemented through macro expansions for very little gain in usability.
