hum, as for me, i really prefer using many wildcards.
However that also contributes to mis-packaging, e.g. including /usr/share/aclocal into other packages. $mandir is not problematic, but $datadir and $libdir can be.
but i used %{_mandir}/*/*, %{_gamesbindir}/*, %{_menudir}/*, %{_infodir}/* which must not be problematic.
sometimes you don't realize that a package built on a system with xxx-devel is different than a packager where xxx-devel is not present.
