__spec_install_post is what rpm expands at the end of the install section of a 
specfile.
The generic definition of this one is (from /usr/lib/rpm/macros):
%__spec_install_post\
%{?__debug_package:%{__debug_install_post}}\
%{__arch_install_post}\
%{__os_install_post}\
%{nil}

so what the above does is that it inserts a few commands at the very end
of the install section, after for example all the brp-scripts have run, which
are usually part of one of the referenced macros above (__os_install_post)

no guarantees, but it should work for exactly that purpose: to get after the 
debuginfo/strip sequence.
