AFAIK, the %install section is what you're actually copying as the
contents of your package. You copy it from the location you extracted
the source %{_buildroot} into a temporary location %{builddir}.

The %files section tells the package manager what files belong to that
package, so everything that you put into the file %{builddir} should
also go into this list. This is important so that the package manager
knows how to manage the files.
