However, I feel that step belongs in %prep for two reasons:
I agree that it should not be in %prep. %prep is for unpacking and
patching sources. Not much else should be done there.

Certainly you have to do what is required to build the package; if RPM
ordering oddities make it so much easier to do that in %prep then I
guess you have to do what you have to do. I think this situation is why
%conf was created, but I don't know if the ordering works out and I
don't know if it is present on all the releases where you would like to
have the package (it was added in RPM 4.18).
