IMHO the list of installed files is an integral piece of package management 
and should explicitly be part of the spkg. Automatically generating it is 
not an option during parallel compilation. There should be a "spkg-files" or 
so in the spkg that lists them. During single package build one could 
automatically check that it is up to date, but the actual list of files 
needs to be distributed with the spkg. 

With that information it would be relatively easy to automatically translate 
spkgs into distribution source packages (e.g. srpm). So in the long run we 
could make use of native package management schemes...
