I wonder what is wrong with Makefiles and sed or some other templating
/ macro packages that already are in our distribution. Inventing new
package (which will become a BuildRequires dependency) for such
a simple task seems to be unnecessary. It also makes the learning /
adoption curve more steep.

Can you provide some reasoning what the target features of the tool
should be and why they cannot be put together with existing tools?
