I assume that packages should at least be consistent. I am asking, because I have been reviewing some KDE packages that don't use the kf5 macros consistently or even use `%{_macro}` and `%{_kf5_macro}` at different places in the same specfile. I figured that I'd ask here before correcting anybody else.

Hi Neil,

Thanks,
