Yes, it's very common. Just drop the %dir because that specifically tells rpm
that this entry is ONLY about the directory node itself, and not the contents.
As for your use-case for wanting to avoid bloating packages with redundant .pyc

packages. There are multiple reasons for it, and none of them is "for fun".
