RE : %clean section not processed

[<patrice elasri sofrecom com>]

In fact, I'm using the %{buildroot}.tmp as a temporary working directory to store especially my own find_requires script (including "%{__cat} >/dev/null") and a env.sh shell script, used to pass some environment variables between the building scriptlets. So my %clean section removes both %{buildroot} and %{buildroot}.tmp directories.
Is there really no way at all to enable the %clean section ?

The %clean section is deprecated because it was almost always
identical to the new built-in version, or it was incorrect/missing.
If your package requires something in %clean that isn't covered in the
default, you've probably made a packaging error.

If you pastebin the spec file, I'm sure folks would be willing to take
a gander at it for you and give you some feedback.

PS:  You probably want to move this to rpm-users rpm5 org for all
versions of RPM > 4.4.2
