Running some automated tests I stumble over the debug directories. E. g.,

I note that /usr/src/debug is owned by filesystem, but filesystem does
not own /usr/lib/debug.
Is all this on purpose, or is something broken here? Thinking about it,
we never require anything for the debug package AFAICT. What's the story?
It depends on what the package stores below /usr/lib/debug.
Here's one that is mispackaged:
# repoquery -qf /usr/lib/debug
nacl-devel-0:20110221-3.fc19.i686
-> http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=3336721
It includes the -debuginfo package contents in the -devel package, most
likely because it does a lazy'n'risky %{_libdir}/* in its %files section.
Thanks for reply... Still, I'm puzzled about 45 packages owning
/usr/lib/debug, none of them the filesystem package. This looks weird,
although I don't grasp the consequences (if any).
A normal review rule says that a package should not own a directory
owned by another package. Does this apply to /usr/lib/debug (as well as
/usr/src/debug, used occasionally)? If so, who is the "rightful" owner
of these directories?
Still confused, but on a higher level...
