YES. that's why i suggested adding the code there for those who know what
they are doing, commenting it out, adding a warning there,and use it only
when _ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY_. the auto generation of files is extremely
useful, and while extreme care should be taken, it should be used whenever
possible.
and for those who dont' nkow what they are doing, well, they can always use
the manual method i.e.
%files
/usr/bin/foo
/usr/lib/bar
/usr/man/man6/baz.6.bz2
something like that...
