If they shouldn't be in a package, then should "make distdir" put them
in the tarball?

Are they required for building? If they are, they have to be in the
source RPM, and so they have to be in the tarball. I don't really want
to write a "search and destroy" command to put into the spec file to
keep them from the executable RPM.
