If the test on %buildsubdir is actually still needed ...

A test on %buildsubdir existence delays the substitution until after %setup has actually been run.

Without seeing details with/without the %install overloading, I cannot guess why the overloading is/was necessary.

But if the test is needed, I surely diagnosed the problem and devised the solution way back when.
