Interestingly enough, I used a similar script to fetch the current tree,
compress it and then use it as a source (git-<current_date>.tar.bz2).
So, in addition to the daily compressed git, I would also need the other
sources listed in that .spec file, right?

Yes, I understand that, but I am never going to use FS with PostgreSQL
for example, so why would I need to pollute my build machine by
installing the PostgreSQL -devel packages?
That is what I mean by making the .spec file more modular - for people
like myself, if I don't want to include any ODBC/PosgreSQL stuff and
rely solely on sqlite[3] then all I would need to do is set the
appropriate variable in that .spec file (or reset it via the command
line) and that is it.

I know all that, but it is a practice I use to define my own user names
for the daemons I compile/deploy/run on all systems - don't worry, I
won't bother you with unnecessary questions arising from the use of
non-standard user name. I also deploy SELinux, so I need to tie this
user name with the FS SELinux policy (which I will also create/amend and
deploy), so it is important for me to easily change that name.
What are the issues with h323 I am reading in that .spec file - could
you elaborate further?
