Some languages (e.g. Python) ship $LANG-srpm-macros packages that are pulled in by redhat-rpm-config to address this. > PS Björn -- we should consider moving the macros out of lua-devel and > into lua-rpm-macros, that lua-devel then depends on.

But this won't even be needed if we can figure out how %lua_requires get triggered on Fedora 33+ and have it work that way on older releases too.
