These are exactly the broken packages that I want to cater with the
proposed changes!
If you want to do staged installs during build time you *HAVE* to do
so in builddir, not buildroot.

Nope, both ways are a sloppy way of packaging. It should be
forbidden. Stage your builds in %build/%{builddir}, don't build in
%install and don't touch %{buildroot} in %prep/%build. This should be
carved in stone.
