Mainly because some people say that the file list should be more
detailed.
I'm one of them: for instance, I abhor too freeminded use of wildcards such as
%{python_sitelib}/*
which may up owning stuff that it isn't supposed to. Or, for the current
example, one might not detect if the egg-info isn't built (which may happen
e.g. on EPEL-5, where one has to do a trick to get it).
However, there's no sense in listing every single file that goes in the RPM, if
they are placed in a package-specific directory, or obey some sane naming
scheme, e.g.
%{_bindir}/foo
%{_bindir}/foo-*
Being too specific can also bite you, as you noticed.
