"works" yes

But lets get the trash out of *.spec please:
	deleting %dir is KISS, no fuss, no muss

Note that you are almost certain to hit a real "brain fart"
in that code soon. I've gotten burned with
	implementations not meeting expectations
every time I've touched the code. I'm sure you will *ahem* step in something shortly.

And proper engineering with explicit regression tests under buildbots
before rebuilding RPM is the best fix there: nice and quiet, not disruptive
to anyone else.

Try-and-see please … or learn the hard way, that "works" too ;-)
