However, going forward I think it may be more necessary to split out separate spec files, especially if packagers take advantage of distro-specific features/macros, and doubly especially as distro vendors start providing the spec files. If this is done, though, it would be helpful to put these into a subdirectory. I.e.:

I agree on this.. There should be also LSB compliant version of inkscape for those upcoming tZilionZ LSB compliant distros..

inkscape/ packaging/ debian/ gentoo/ fink/ mandrake/ inkscape.spec suse/ inkscape.spec windows/

I think this should look like:

inkscape/ packaging/ linux/ debian/ mandrake/ suse/ gentoo/ lsb/ windows/ macosx fink

So it would be more informative (For stupid people like me:P)
