I don't think there is any magic in it. Everything is clearly
documented and every expansion clearly defined and also intuitive.

If something changes spec files "behind my back" - that I would call
magic but If a packager explicitly states: "Here, in this place in the
spec file, I want this particular dynamic snippet to be expanded",
then I think that is very transparent. Especially, if some other
person looks at the spec file, he/she will know something will happen
with the spec file and also what it will be (perhaps after quickly
checking the docs).
