Read the packaging guidelines for Fedora Extras. And do a cvs checkout of Extras CVS (I believe you can do an anonymous checkout). Generally - if a spec file is too complex, it isn't a good spec file. There are of course exceptions - but those exceptions are generally an indication of software issue that has to be worked around. You can subscribe to the Fedora Extras list to see discussion of spec files.
