I did this patch because /etc/rpm/macros.* will included
macros.*.rpmsave/.rpmnew and other vim backup. And it's exactly the case
on my own laptop (installed as Mageia):

$  ls /etc/rpm
macros  macros.d/  macros.fjava  macros.jpackage  macros.rpmnew

Notice the macros.rpmnew !

Upstream just sucks to not see this issue, even jbj has admit the
problem.

This patch is not the most problematic in rpm as it's just a line in the
configuration.
