Yes: without them the test is less useful, because you're less certain
that what happened was what was supposed to happen.

Well, I'm about to commit a change that makes the default build of
contrib/spi have the correct NOTICE output, as of 7.3. You could make
the 7.2 RPMset do likewise if you wish.
One thing that confuses me though is that the build options have been
like this for a long time (at least since 7.1). Why haven't you seen
this problem before? Did you recently change the way the RPMs build
contrib?
