How about this:
Since there is a switch to disable the check,
why not add a switch that changes the TERMINATE mode to WARNING mode?

example:
if this:
%define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0
disables  the check,
why not add:
%define _unpackaged_files_warning_build 1
(or whatever suitable ...)
to change the terminate mode to warning mode.

Then all should be happy, since it would give all what they want,

- Terminate Mode
- Warning Mode
- No Warnings or Terminate mode..

Just a thought... ;-)
