Research direction

Start with rpmautospec_core.specfile_uses_rpmautospec and rpmautospec.process_distgit, then review the failure described in rpmautospec issue #211. Determine the consequences of setting error_on_unparseable_spec to False and document the safe expected behavior for preprocessing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The while rpmautospec_core.specfile_uses_rpmautospec is supposed to always
work, the rpmautospec.process_distgit may fail to parse the specfile.

There's the option error_on_unparseable_spec that we can set to False . But
we should first fully understand the consequences.
