What is cleaned in that  case? Things below

1. %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/R/library

or 

2. %{_datadir}/R/library

Or 
3. in source?

In case 1. I can't see the interest of doing it, in case 2. it is very
wrong, and in case 3. I also can't see what it would be needed for.

Doing it in pre script may have more sense, but once again the user
should do it by hand, it shouldn't be automatic.
