NAK, there are people actually relying on %ghost sizes being recorded and taken
into account on free disk space checking. That said, in MOST cases the %ghost
size is simply fubar and we'd be better off not recording it. I could imagine
something like %ghost(size=1234K) but even that is breaking
for directories and ghost files we do not want to
record their size in binary rpms
to make builds more reproducible.
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this matters.
Note: I'm not sure if this is the best/correct way to do this, but at least it
made the packages build bit-identical
