Well, as you can see from the Requires list, perl-Test-Kwalitee is not
required.

However, even if it did, the directory ownership shouldn't change - see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Directory_Ownership

The reason for this is that perl packages can either be arch-specific or
arch-independent, and the modules get installed to different directories
dependent on which type of module they are. Perl modules also sometimes change
between arch-specific and arch-independent, so even if in this case
perl-Test-Kwalitee was required, you wouldn't be sure that it would provide the
necessary parent directory (the arch-independent one in this case), because an
update to perl-Test-Kwalitee might change it to be arch-specific, and hence own
a different set of directories. So the perl ecosystem just shares the module
directories between all modules that use them.
