Deleting files in %install is considered cleaner by many, because it ensures that a file is not found inside the %buildroot anymore and cannot be included accidentally either. The drawback is obvious: There ought to be a comment explaining why a file is deleted.
In this particular case some stuff gets added depending on whether or not the build process finds all of the fonts that are needed. I wanted this to fail during build if any were not found, rather than just removing any fonts that showed up to be installed. So that I could add needed buildrequires and requires right away rather than after a new build was out.
When I was testing things I was a bit confused as to why I wasn't seeing build failures when I expected them.
And the test worked great. At the end I forgot to add buildrequires for some some fonts (even though I did have the requires for them) and a build failure told me to fix it right away.
