[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Macro %-x modifies original flag if argument follows without intervening space (Issue #2454)

[Panu Matilainen]

Looking again at case and the PR, I do think the rpm behavior to enforce a uniform output for %x is intentional and sane. The macro arguments exist for *modifying macro behavior*, not for passing through to other programs, and we can't allow external program requirements to set the rules for rpm macros. 

If you do pass an option through to some other program, it's the macros responsibility to handle any conversion needed.
