You apparently didn't get it: running rm -rf on files owned by a package on
the spin is NOT a serious option! Among other things, it will break
DeltaRPMs and rpm -Va, it does not persist on package updates and thus
creates inconsistencies when (inevitably) some packages are updated and
others are not, and it's just wrong.
The only reasonable solution is to not add bloat to the main packages in the
first place. It should be in subpackages or just not there at all. (IMHO,
the latter. We already have debuginfo in subpackages, we don't need a
redundant subset of it.)
