the first place, if they're associated with the app. Packages should
only create directories for stuff that's added as part of the package,
not part of the software per se - say, you're including a convenience
script which is not upstream, or moving the icons around, or something.

Here is the setup we have.
1) An RPM which creates a raw JBoss install
2) An RPM which sets up a specialized server config (based on the default config from 1) with common configuration
3) RPMs containing WARs (and configuration).
The reason we encounter the CentOS 5 bug is that the when the RPM in 2 uninstalls, it removes the server config and with it the WARs from 3. Is there a better way?
