sadly rpm doesnt work this way. if the .pyc files are not in the %files
list the directory will not be deleted. that means you have to track
them at least as %ghost entries. given that building the .pyc files
during the build is rather simple. we could just ship them in the rpms
which is imho done on all distros.
