I still recommend using the rpkg-preprocessor approach that I
suggested here or at least looking at the possibility to use it and
finding out what should be done so that it is useful for you.

I can cooperate on this with you. I am looking for some cooperation
for quite a long time.

The preprocessor has support for custom macros that you could use from
your spec file. These macros could hook into your already created
scripts. I admit I don't know your exact workflow but I firmly believe
you could find the tool valuable.
