Yes, I read mandrake rpm howto and I use it as a reference.
But I'm still questioning this policy in all cases: putting the patches bzipped saved a whopping 300 bytes in the srpm.
Gunzipping and bzipping2 the original tarball made a difference, but still I don't think it's correct: if someone goes to download the file from the url in the spec file he won't find it since it's only distributed as a tar.gz:
$ LC_MESSAGES= LANG= wget ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.1.10.tar.bz2
--19:01:36-- ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.1.10.tar.bz2

Ok, I fixed this one. This is because the ./configure to build makedepend hasn't a --libdir=/something, but if you specify a --libdir it will fail. I got rid of the included makedepend and added a BuildPrereq on XFree86-devel (since that's the package that provides makedepend).
