Yeah. Are you in favor of just dropping --excludedocs and related
features, then? To me, --excludedocs is worth keeping, but the
rest are not.
Personally I'd be happy if a macro were provided and packagers just
had to write
%install-info mypackage.info
and then there's only one place we have to get it right.
We could probably make a scriptlet for it, the problem is that we have
generally avoided making scriptlets like that for common cases because
then the Fedora spec files become "Fedora-specific" spec files, much in
the same way that OpenSUSE spec files have traditionally not worked
anywhere else.
Now, if upstream RPM felt that it was compelling enough to provide such
a macro by default, we'd certainly leverage it in Fedora.
