Just don't. Log files do not belong into a package. They are run-time
generated temporary files. Don't delete them in %postun either.
It's certainly nicer when a rpm -ql gives you the log files one package
uses.
That actually belongs in a packages man page (or other documentation).
That's exactly why it's nicer to have it in rpm -ql
file location is something chosen by the packager at spec time, man
pages often reflect other defaults (when they are up to date -> cf
localized pages), and there is no canonical other place to search for it.
