When declaring file and directory dependencies,
installation path macros like %{_bindir} MUST NOT be used.
%{_bindir} of the package that provides 'sometool'
may be different from %{_bindir} of a package that requires 'sometool'.
In such case, 'BuildRequires: %{_bindir}/sometool' does not work as expected.

This is simple and reasonable enough and really just clarifies some unwritten knowledge so I'll go ahead and merge it.
