So the docs mention that %clean is obsolete because all outputs should be
placed with %builddir. But when --build-in-place is used, %builddir is the
source directory, which we don't want to pollute, so is it still valid to use
%clean for that use case?
Also, assuming the above is correct, how should cleanup of files generated by
rpm's own macros be handled? For example, `%__debug_install_post` writes
debugsourcefiles.list among other files to %builddir, but whose responsibility
is it to clean that file up? Should every spec add it to their %clean
implementation if they support --build-in-place, or can this cleanup be handled
within rpm somehow?
