A few comments:

1) The package fails to build on rawhide due to some unpackaged files:

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files
/var/tmp/libtune-0.10-1-root-jwboyer
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /var/lib/tundb/tundb_distro
   /var/lib/tundb/tundb_kernel


RPM build errors:
    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /var/lib/tundb/tundb_distro
   /var/lib/tundb/tundb_kernel

2) While a generic spec file is probably a great idea for the upstream project,
having tunables-data and tunables-distro packages for kernels that aren't part
of the current Fedora distro (SLES, RHEL, older FC) doesn't make much sense from
and Extras viewpoint.

Is it possible to generate tunables-data and tunables-distro packages at RPM
build time?  If so, that would allow a very generic spec file that would work
for any kernel or distro the RPMs were built on.

3) If the tunables-data and tunables-distro packages are very dependent upon a
specific version of a kernel, they should actually Requires: that particular
kernel version.  This might quickly become cumbersome for the development tree,
as new kernels are released on almost a daily basis.

4) The location of the of the libtune_* scripts does not comply with the FHS. 
/var/lib/ is to be used for data and state information.  The scripts should
probably go into /usr/share/libtune/bin/ or /usr/share/tundb/bin/.  The same
applies to the doc directory.
