Looks fine to me. The only reason I have to dislike it is the temptation for people to inspect build logs as a proof of what flags a package was built with (since the only sane thing is to store that in the binary itself, which the tools team is working on). But for debugging build failures this is great.
What happens in packages using a (possibly old) autoconf script that doesn't recognize --disable-silent-rules?
IMO it would be better to add this option to the %configure calls in packages where it's actually an issue (which is surely a small minority, unless Colin has got evidence to the contrary).
