rpm spec example

I've been building rhn_register RPMs for my clients as per 
client_building.txt.

Taking the example .spec file from the doc/client dir rpm -ba fails:

---------------------------------------

RPM build errors:
    File not found: 
/var/tmp/rhn_register-root/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/dmimodule.so

--------------------------------------------------------------

/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/dmimodule.so does exist.

Editing the .spec file solves the problem:

-----------------------

%install
# ONLY for 6.x builds
#cp rhn_register.pam6x rhn_register.pam

rm -fr $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

# next two lines added
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/
cp /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/dmimodule.so 
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/

make install PREFIX=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT MANPATH=%{_mandir}

-------------------------------------

Is this something stupid I'm doing wrong, or something in the example .spec 
file?

I'm building on a RH7.2 box.
