I still not quite understand it.

By default, the /var/log/ttywatch permissions is "rwx------ root root". It is
the same default as, for example, /var/log/ppp and /var/log/httpd permissions.
But both "ppp" and "httpd" packages own its log directories...

What reasons can lead to necessity to change /var/log/ttywatch perms/owners? Why
the approximately similar Fedora stuff, for example /var/log/ppp, is not
affected by such reasons?

Anyway, according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageReviewGuidelines,

Also, IMHO it is possible to use the recommended %{_smp_mflags} for the %build
stage.
