I read the guidelines again and think I understand what you mean.
I gotta say tho, whats written in the guidelines is not nearly explicit
enough to convey the message.
"there are several instances where it's desirable for multiple packages
to own a directory" desirable, really....
"perl packages are permitted to share ownership of directories."
permitted, how nice.
Its rather counter intuitive to the way that almost anything else works.
Unless there is a bold "must" somewhere there, and perhaps a rpmlint
warning I think this will come back again and again.
