rpmlint has had the 'install-file-in-docs' warning for a long time:

"A file whose name suggests that it contains installation instructions
  is included in the package.  Such instructions are often not relevant
  for already installed packages; if this is the case for this file and
  it does not contain any information that is of interest after the
  package has been built and installed, do not include the file in the
  binary package."
