In a previous mail Colin was suggesting moving all macro files to
/usr/lib/rpm/ instead of /etc/rpm :

I think shipping macro files somewhere in /usr/lib/rpm with users using
files in /etc/rpm to overwrite macros would be nice. Unfortunately this
probably requires an other patch to rpm.
Maybe a patch to read /usr/lib/rpm/mageia/macros.* could be accepted
upstream ?
Something like this :
diff --git a/lib/rpmrc.c b/lib/rpmrc.c
index 96f05ce..bef589f 100644
--- a/lib/rpmrc.c
+++ b/lib/rpmrc.c
