That is odd. Have you tried doing a rpmbuild -bi and inspecting the
files in the buildroot?
Also, minor nitpick, when two files are identical I usually prefer to
make one a symlink to the other. Maybe there's a valid reason why you
are not but that seems to be the norm. e.g.
cp -a bin/%{name} %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/%{name}
ln -sf %{name} %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/%{name}-2
Minor nitpick 2 - I prefer not to use %{name} in a filelist because if
you change the name of the package, it breaks the filelist.
e.g. you come out with foo v3 but you want foo v2 to be installable as
well side by side, so you change the name of foo v2 package from foo to
foo2 and rebuild.
