Other packages are affected, too, where entries in specspo are out-of-date
and point to files which don't exist anymore. I've reported one of them a
long time ago.

However, you cannot blame specspo alone. Part of the problem is that
you've put documentation into tripwire's %description field. Better move
quickstart documentation into a separate README file and keep the package
description short and to the point.
