Thanks!

People invoking configure normally don't need a specfile ;-)

People using the specfile should IMO be able to adapt at least 
the "Version:" line in the file directly. 

How is Debian handling this? 

Otherwise What do you think about some SVN-Magic which patches the 
specfile version in the source to the tagged version?

With kind regards,
