That is my understanding, Marc.

What you pasted looks good, but it's incomplete. If your example is a
portion of an RPM .spec file, would you attach that .spec file in a return
email? That will help in analysis.
In my experience with the "black art" of RPM packaging, the best way I
have found to learn about it is to read RPM .spec files and to play with
rpmbuild on already-existing packages made by Red Hat or others.
Perhaps what you are trying to do here is a similar kind of Python
packaging that is done in the python-chm library & script in Fedora
Extras? I am enclosing the spec-file from
"python-chm-0.8.2-2.fc5.src.rpm" from FC5 extras. Maybe it will help to
study it a little bit -- or even download that .src.rpm and play with it a
bit.
Gnochm from FC5 extras might also be helpful to look at.
You may also wish to look around on http://www.rpm.org/ -- they have an
RPM FAQ as well as the "Maximum RPM" text which may help explain some
more. I believe <http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/build.html#FILES> talks
more about your specific question.
Hope this helped, Marc.

The python chm package provides three modules, chm, chmlib and extra,
