Maybe it would be beneficial to also work the change into the RPM rebase-helper [1] which does automatic scratch builds when a new version of software is detected upstream? Does anyone have experience with this project?

Updating spec files dynamically this way is a horrbile approach.

If I understand it correctly, rebase-helper only alters the spec file for it's own purposes, it doesn't actually touch dist-git or the official spec file.
