Congratulations, you have just banned %find_lang…
There are cases where automatically generating a file list is clearly the
most reasonable solution, and we even have macros for that (e.g., %find_lang
and some KDE-specific variants of the concept). (Hint: A wildcard would
actually be wrong to use there because it misses the %lang(…) tags that the
macro automatically adds. And you really do not want to have to list every
single language manually, and update the list for every single new upstream
release, since translations come and go.)
