To define buildsubdir, %setup or %autosetup need to be parsed. Even if it is just a comment like # %autosetup!

do rpmspec --parse to see the actuel specfile resolved

See https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/3890

This issue is to follow what will happen in future versions of RPM and maybe simplify the package generation.

This is to say that: for buildsubdir to be defined. %setup or %autosetup needs to be parsed even if it is just in a comment.

This means that removing a # %autosetup will break the specfile as it does not init buildubdir anymore.

The github issue shows a workaround and tracks this bug.
