[Fedora-packaging] Re: --define 'check exit 0' breaks generation of debugfiles.list

I don't know who would commonly advise that, because... it doesn't work
in general. It just appends "exit 0" to whatever section happens to
come before the %check section. If another RPM macro also appends
commands to that section, like %spec_install_post does, then.... those
commands don't get run.
Is it possible to skip the check without breaking generation of
debugfiles.list and without editing the .spec file?
I'm pretty sure there's a deeply magical way to do this, involving
defining %check to "cat << XXX" and then redefining %spec_install_post
to something that prefixes the current value with XXX. Enterprising
people can probably come up with something slightly cleaner.
