--rebuild should clean up after itself, particularly SOURCES entries.  I
consider things in the BUILD directory to be nukeable.  You can use "rpm
--rmsource package.spec" to delete the SOURCES entries for that package,
leavning only the .spec file and results (BUILD, RPMS, SRPMS) entries
behind.

They aren't really under the management of rpm though, so you don't do
something like "rpm -e" on them.
