 Package build is divided into multiple separate steps, each executed
 in a separate shell.
 
+Only one of each section can be present in a spec, but all build scriptlets
+except for `%prep` accept options `-a` and `-p`, for append and prepend mode.
+Append and prepend append or prepend lines to the section in the order they
+appear in the spec. Both append and prepend can be used multiple times and
+without other restrictions, but a section without either mode can only
+appear first (eg `%build` cannot follow `%build -p`).

As it says, append and prepend can be used without any restrictions. So if eg %install does not already exist then '%install -a' or '%install -p' is simply equivalent to '%install'. However plain '%install' can only appear first because anything else would be ambiguous.
