Yes, that's the current usage and the reason %define is used instead of
%global. It's a deliberate decision form my side.

True. It's just that all of these options IMHO would give a more cluttered
spec. So if the reviewer is OK with it, I'd prefer to have it as is although I
of course could modify along these lines. No big deal, at least not for me :)

Hey, is this personal?

For the case there already is a repo file installed when installing
dropbox-repo refer to 
https://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2014-February/016552.html
 (near bottom).

If one tries to install a package with a repo file after dropbox-repo is
insrtalled, there will be a conflict. Isn't this as it should?

User can always edit the repo file. After all, it's a configuration file.
