I reviewed spec files from the Apache tarball, Warren's source RPM (release
5.el5), and Dag's 3.2.5 source RPM. The differences I see:

====

Support for RPM distags identifying distributions.

Use of distags to require "optional" Perl packages based on which distro is in
use. It's also used to determine if the perl-devel package was split out from
the main perl package.

Inclusion of the seed rule tarball in the package.

sa-update wrappers for cron and sysconfig.

RH-specific rules (eg. sought).

====

There's still a lot of overlap between these. Perhaps the common parts can be
factored into a spec.in file that can be used to reduce the work packagers must
do. This might include the RPM header boilerplate, the minimum prerequisites,
the basic %build rule, and the basic %files attributes and layout.
