Ville is right there is you omit build you'll get many side-effects you
didn't bargain for.

Also do you never change files with sed before you install them? This
belongs in %build, not %setup or %install (the PHP SM spec for example
had a very nasty bug at a time because the packager didn't respect this
discipline and mixed install and file munging in the last section)
