For a MUST item in the guidelines, it is much too short and vague.
How about:
In a Fedora package .spec file, any of the files/dirs installed in
the buildroot must not be included in the package(s) %files lists more
than once. Unless there is good reason, and in that case there ought to
be a comment in the .spec file.
