To which (technical) problems are you refering here? Run/installtime
requirements for 'fedora-usermgmt' can be disabled by building with a
'--without fedora' switch.

I do not think that a non-trivial spec file can be shared across
distributions or even between different versions of a distribution.

Therefore, either remove the fedora-usermgmt code completely from the
EPEL packages and write them in in a merge-friendly way, or create a
small fedora-usermgmt-devel replacement (without the features requiring
newer rpm) and expand the macros to the plain shadow-utils variant.
