+As a special case, `BuildArch: noarch` can be used on sub-package
+level to allow eg. documentation of otherwise arch-specific package
+to be shared across multiple architectures.
+
+#### Prefixes
+
+Specify prefixes this package may be installed into, used to make
+packages relocatable. Very few packages are.
+
+#### Docdir
+
+Declare a non-default documentation directory for the package.
+Usually not needed.
+
+#### Removepathpostfixes

That question is outside the scope here, but I fail to see how adding yet another alias would make it somehow better, it's just more crud that will confuse people because they end up thinking maybe its something different as the old version didn't support this but supports that etc.
