For information.
Starting from rpm-3.0.4-0.2mdk, the spec-helper package must be
installed as a dependency of the rpm-build package.
The spec-helper script is called automatically at the end of the
%install section to compress info and man pages, strip files and
remove backup files from the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT dir. The %install section
can be cleaned off this tasks but the %files section about man and
info pages must be specified without the .bz2 extension but with an *
instead. The goal is to have vendor neutral spec files.
Example:
%files
/usr/man/man1/alias.1*
and not
%files
/usr/man/man1/alias.1.bz2
