Fair enough, but in the cases you've named it's still %default for more
than one build system.  Or do you by extension want %default-glib-or-
gtk-imported-modules?  That's quite a mouthful imho without any
additional semantics.

Perhaps, but I think %gnu-build-modules and %gnu-build-imported-modules
is better even with that reasoning.
