'%foo' commands are wrappers.
Like '%make' is a wrapper for &quot;make -j4&quot; (parralel compilation on 4 nodes)
It can be quicker to build with the command, but in some cases (I met 
some) it brakes the build.

 From my point of view (I am not packager since long) commands are great 
tools, it eases our work a lot :)
So I agree with Tv: we should use them every time it is possible. At 
least the most commons.
