Definitely, having unpackaged files generate an error is good for
automated builds - if something goes wrong you'll have to
investigate it.  But this could be annoying during development
process or while building custom RPMs.  However, disabling this
error will still generate warning, you'll see list of unpackaged
files.

So, instead of adding %define to spec, I'd recommend running
"rpmbuild -D '_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0' openvswitch.spec"
when needed.
