Yes, but the point is, the product of the distributed build should be a single
rpm so that you don't need to handle two kinds of objects during installation
time and inter-dependencies between them. So there should be a single
spec file generated partially automatically (i.e. by collecting what sources
were built and putting them into the corresponding Source: statements)
and partially manually (i.e. scriplets need to be pulled from somewhere).
