Could this have caused nasty side-effects? As of today, my mach chroots
(tested on x86_64 and ppc) had builds fail with rpmbuild complaining about
unpackaged files... which were symlinks in the both cases I encountered.
The thing is, they _were_ listed in %files, and when I tried also listing
them explicitly (it was a wildcard previously), then it failed with the
same unpackaged files message _and_ complained that they were listed
twice :-/

I got really puzzled and just set my rpmmacros to not terminate builds on
unpackaged files for now.
