Well, the guidelines say:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Scriplets_are_only_all...
Of course, that governs writing, and rpmlint can't really tell if
something intends to read or write, so it warns when it sees mention of
buildroot in potentially problematic places. As with many rpmlint
complaints, you should simply indicate in your review ticket why you
believe the usage is justified.
