 It's not rpm, it'm macros misbehaving :/
 
 Note to packagers: the %{remove_install_info pagename} macros must be in
 braces or they get run together.  This generally isn't an issue with
 packages that have only one info page, but when you have multiple pages, you
 end up with the fiif as seen above.

fixed here:

the good solution is AFAIK to not put any {}.
