This one is just rpm being more strict now that it was before - the fix
is just to avoid unpackaged files (which will work everywhere and is the
correct thing to do anyway)

This one can usually be taken care of by careful %file naming

If you _really_ need custom macros you can always put them in a custom
macros package and buildrequire it. But this needs work - the examples
you gave would certainly be easier to fix by cleaning up the specfiles
instead of trying to ship ugly macro workarounds.

Now a macro package to unify packaging policy is something else
entirely.
