Uttered "Paul W. Frields" (pfrields) <fedora-docs-commits at redhat.com>, spake thus:

Assuredly.  We need to mark these virtual targets as .PHONY to keep
from breaking everything if someome tried to freshen the timestamps
with a "make -t srpm".  Without a ".PHONY: srpm", make(1) would then
simply "touch srpm", creating an empty file named "srpm", which we do
not want.

Cheers
