[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] `%build -a` and `%install -a` overwrite build/installation instructions from `%buildsystem_*_*` (Issue #3024)

[Panu Matilainen]

Hmm, ugh. We have a test for this very scenario (%build -a) in the test-suite, but looking closer indeed the buildsystem %build is lost. It's just that autotools "make install" masks the issue by building automatically since not already done. We also have bunch of other tests for -a/-p modes, so this is just a bad interaction between the buildsystem stuff and append/prepend. Which does mean the buildsystem thing is rather broken in the alpha then :unamused: 

Thanks for the report!

Another buildsystem related breakage spotted while looking at this is that on Fedora there's this old hack around %install which breaks with -a:

```
%install %{?_enable_debug_packages:%{?buildsubdir:%{debug_package}}}\
%%install\
%{nil}
```

That can probably be worked around in the macro, but we also may want to shoot for an expedited fix to #2204
