We package them because they are created at install time.  Makes for
nicer upgrades and such so they get removed.  During the build we
delete them manually and rely on the %posttrans script to recreate
them.

What happened when compat-wireless was introduced is that we did the
removal of the build generated ones before the compat-wireless stuff
was built.  So compat-wireless would build and then we'd be left with
the files there we just deleted.

I did a scratch build with that fixed and the rpm -V output is back to
what it was with the 3.1.5 kernel:

[jwboyer at zod linux-2.6]$ rpm -V kernel-3.1.7-3.fc16.x86_64
?........    /boot/System.map-3.1.7-3.fc16.x86_64
...T.....    /lib/modules/3.1.7-3.fc16.x86_64/modules.devname
...T.....    /lib/modules/3.1.7-3.fc16.x86_64/modules.softdep
[jwboyer at zod linux-2.6]$

Should be fixed in the next f16 and rawhide builds that get done.
