> is that the correct way to fix it?

Yes. The shellbangs are put there by the upstream developers so that they can
run individual parts of the package on their own for debugging. Given that the
files are not installed with exec permissions, this isn't something that an end
user is going to be needing to do.

Perhaps many reviewers are happy to let them go because it's not an important
issue (true in itself), or because they don't know how to fix it, or because
they think the fix clutters the spec file and is therefore worse than the
problem itself? My view is that it's best to shut rpmlint up as much as is
reasonably possible (some things just can't be fixed because the package
wouldn't work if they were), so that rpmlint generates as little output as
possible. The benefit of this is that any new issues that crop up with package
version or rpmlint changes are less likely to be lost amongst a barrage of
unimportant issues.
