Do you want to create a gnulib module?
It would arrange in its modules file to include a template (via Files:),
and add a Makefile rule (via its Makefile.am: section) to substitute
the package name into the numerous slots in the template file.
I.e., compare the file from grep and diffutils.
I think all differences are just s/grep/diffutils/.
i.e., just the package name.
For extra credit, add a method for a package to insert its own
private steps (via a sed/perl/awk snippet?) somewhere into the
resulting file.
Then, even coreutils could use it, inserting via this hook
the parts that no other package would probably ever use.
