Hi Vincent,
It looks to me that mate-common is a fork of gnome-common package.
Currently it has a directory called 'distro' which includes some
distribution utilities, just one actually, for Ubuntu and Arch Linux.
It's a tiny script that merges the installed schemas into a new
schema.
The main interest would be to pass this script to a macro.

As far as I can tell (I didn't had much experience with gconf), but
while gconf installs several schemas, mate-conf installs several
schemas that are merged (during %install) into one big schema called
%{name}.schema and installed on %_datadir/mateconf/schemas.
I have the packages on home:ketheriel:m8 if you want to take a look.
The interest would be to upstream this, but either a downstreamer
solution wouldn't hurt, or if we even look into getting mate in
factory we could probably merge with ours.
The main problem is actually to make the macro's.
