That's useful for someone who wants to find the latest spec file, but not sufficient for rebuilding a package. Generally, you need more than just a spec file: you need patches, possibly other sources, manual pages, etc. They also change over time. What I described is a feature I'm planning to add to pkgbuild. It gives parity with an existing svr4 feature (namely source packages that can be automatically rebuilt). The OpenSolaris team can decide whether or not to use this feature, but I do think it's useful to have.
