We can add alternative method to start the process, i.e. using
   make rpm
but it will be fully functional RPM only if it can be created
externally using rpmbuild command. Rebuilding is one of the
basic RPM functionality.
Anyhow we can try to create spec file dynamically from
our GNU make system but the problem is that only from DEB
and RPM packages we have access to macros and settings which
allow us to respect given distribution standards. It's impossible
that we ever encode inside our make system different rules for
each popular system using RPM or DEB.
