IMHO:

1. The default rule should be package owning all the directories it uses
and created itself
2. For directories owned by another package, there should be a dep on
this other package
3. For common shared directories where we don't want to force a dep on
another component, a fedora-filesystem package should be created that
owns those dirs and manages their permissions (in that case both primary
and secondary users of the dir should depend on fedora-filesystem)

3. solves the unowned dir/permission conflict problem, documents what
directories Fedora considers shared, and does not force dependency
explosion. If there are not enough users for a dir to be put in the
fedora-filesystem package then we can live with deps on the primary
owner, little harm done, and being strict is better than being lax
(which always bite you someday)
