If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. The exception to this are directories listed explicitly in the Filesystem Hierarchy I think it would be entirely possible for rpm to differentiate between directories that a) preexisted before any rpm touched them b) were created because an rpm needs to dump a file there c) are explicitly owned by an rpm and manage the creation and deletion of directories accordingly.
