This means that the files were created in the build process but not
included in the package.  So, you can either include them in the package
or delete them before you get to the %files portion in the spec file.

You have created the above two files and need to include them in the
%files directive.  You might try creating them as
%{BuildRoot}/usr/local/share/mythtv/debug....list  and then they should
get picked up by what's below.

FWIW,
