My 2cts: The current behaviour is right. I see not reason to make an exception
- neither for `Source:` and `Patch:` nor for `Name:`. Yes, this may break a few
packages. Those need to be fixed.
Overall the way of how macros are expanded could be made more clear in the
documentation. There are a lot of things that are not immediately obvious -
e.g. how build script templates from the macro files can be over-written in the
spec. Nevertheless we should aim for an easy model with as little exceptions as
possible.

does just that.
