Thanks a lot, I was able to update the spec.

First a working example:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/python-beanbag.git/tree/python-beanbag.spec

Basically no %files section without "-n ". That means no
"main rpm" will get created.

And explanation:
It's not about allowing something - if you are not packaging something
you installed in the buildroot then rpmbuild will yell. Either put it in
that python-swift package *or* do not put it in the buildroot.
