Indeed I did:

Spec URL:
http://subversion.city-fan.org/repos/cfo-repo/pari-galdata/branches/fedora/pari-galdata.spec
SRPM URL:
http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/pari/pari-galdata-20080411-3.fc18.src.rpm

This package 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 dependency relationship between those packages:
