It does. I like it. I will use it :)

You are also very very right. Just copy my skel and change it to
whatever _you_ like :)

Indeed: what I just had in my latest rpm:
rm %_datadir/%name-*.png
%name- is not a known variable, ie it removed /usr/share/*.png and not
/usr/share/fbdesk-*.png
rm %_datadir/%{name}-*.png
I use braces a whereever those kind of situations can occur. But once
again. Do as you please. As long as the end result is good.
