Can you give a concrete example where doing this actually accomplishes
something with rpmbuild >= 4.4? I can't immediately think of one; I
don't see how "wrong permissions from %install" would end up in the
package as files with non-root user/group. AFAIU rpmbuild >= 4.4 sets
%defattr(-,root,root,-) by default and repeating immediately at start
of %files is a no-op.
