Its nearly impossible to write a spec file that will work on all
distros, but one can come very close. I write my spec files with the
assumption that other people (non fedora-users) can use my package.
It's good practice. Sometimes there will be conflicts, but I try to
make sure those conflicts are created by another distro, not by my spec
file.
