Using the first variant is completely legal. The consistency here means that
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT and %{buildroot} should not be mixed inside one spec file.

There are few reasons why not include the server by default:
- the server is not installed by the upstream setup utility
- I have a package that will use only the library
- distributing a network server has a broader consequences (security, etc.)
So until there is a real demand for this server I don't have an intent to
package it.
