spec files aren't portable across distributions in any meaningful sense,
so if we checked it in it'd be specific to some distribution. But nobody
from a distribution wants to maintain their spec file upstream, they all
have a standard repo for their own spec files. So if we had one in dbus
cvs it would just be unmaintained, even if we could figure out what
distribution it was for.
