Yes, that would be fine, except that the discrepancy causes the *rpm*
kicked off by bdist_rpm to fail because rpm installs it as scons.1.gz,
but then it doesn't find the file that it expects from the MANIFEST
file. The problem is in this section (I've appended full build output,
edited for brevity, at the end):
running install_data
copying scons.1 -> /var/tmp/scons-buildroot/usr/man/man1
writing list of installed files to 'INSTALLED_FILES'

If I had to guess, it looks like brp-compress turns the scons.1 into
scons.1.gz, but this is out of my RPM+distutils depth. I ultimately
don't care whether scons.1 or scons.1.gz get installed, so long as both
RPM and distutils are happy with it...
