"should be replaced with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT", combined with QA complaining
about %{buildroot} usage makes it mandatory in practise. If it's not
supposed to be mandatory then the QA checklist should say "check for
consistent use of %{buildroot} vs $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" instead of what's
there now.

It's not like things like this are the biggest deal in existence, it's
just IMHO an arbitrary rule which to me are somewhat irritanting.
