Not true. chmod -x is _ALWAYS_ an option, re-add the execute bits  
with %attr.

Say what? Adding a pattern once in a per-distro filtering file  
somehow becomes 10
additions for sub-pkgs? Explicit details please ...

The suggested macro -- by definition -- is per-build or per-srpm, not  
per-binary sub-pkg,
because that's how macro's "work", there is onlt a very modest macro  
context that changes
for binary subpkgs. But we can jigger up Yet More Bells and Whistles
Buttons for the "grep -v" implementation down the road a bit ...
