The %clean section is deprecated because it was almost always
identical to the new built-in version, or it was incorrect/missing.
If your package requires something in %clean that isn't covered in the
default, you've probably made a packaging error.

If you pastebin the spec file, I'm sure folks would be willing to take
a gander at it for you and give you some feedback.

PS:  You probably want to move this to [email protected] for all
versions of RPM > 4.4.2
