I would not mind having clean separated per-distribution spec files.
That way you can basically reuse the complete spec file from the
distribution and you would have systemd support without having
to think about it - they probably have had their fair amount of testing.
 
I spent about a day adjusting and merging the Fedora's systemd tor.spec. However, it won't build the git source (e.g. with LIBS=-lrt ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make dist-rpm). There is something missing in the .spec which makes rpmbuild fail on not finding the correct source directory, but I wasn't able to figure why that happens as rpmbuild is quite hard to debug.
