Mezzanine does this for specgen. The spec files it generates contain
the following lines:
Release: 1%{?_vendorsuffix:.%{_vendorsuffix}}
Packager: %{?_packager:%{_packager}}%{!?_packager:%{_vendor}}
Vendor: %{?_vendorinfo:%{_vendorinfo}}%{!?_vendorinfo:%{_vendor}}
Distribution: %{?_distribution:%{_distribution}}%{!?_distribution:%{_vendor}}
You can do similar things with DistTag:, Dag's %{dist}, etc.
