Yes, I did:

Spec URL:
http://subversion.city-fan.org/repos/cfo-repo/pari-elldata/branches/fedora/pari-elldata.spec
SRPM URL:
http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/pari/pari-elldata-20120415-5.fc18.src.rpm

It cannot require pari (the owner of %{_datadir}/pari) as that would create
circular build dependencies. Hence this package also owns %{_datadir}/pari so
that the directory is owned if this package is installed without pari itself.

Multiple packages owning the same directory is OK by the guidelines if there is
no dependecy relationship between those packages:
