With "similar" I meant
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/DistTag#Conditionals
Another example, not a particulary good one since it is my package is gwget:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/gwget/F-11/gwget.spec?view=markup
The epiphany extension was broken and I had to disable it during the F12 mass
rebuild. I was able to do this by changing 1 to 0 instead of commenting out
large parts of the spec.

> You should enable support for everything in the package in Fedora.

I surely wont do this because I consider the "enable everything" policy one of
the biggest mistakes in Fedora. It introduces long dependency chains, just look
at totem or pidgim, that require evolution-data-server and all it's
dependencies.

Currently we are thinking about viewnior to replace gpicview and become the
default image viewer of LXDE. Having a gconf dependency is a no-go there.
