You're missing what %_netsharedpath does.  For example %_netsharedpath /usr
makes rpm not drop any files under /usr but just assume the files it'd drop
there are already there (useful for eg. a central NFS-shared /usr - the server
installs rpms with files there, clients install the same RPMs locally but don't
touch anything in /usr).  However, %_netsharedpath only affects files in package
payloads, scriptlets need to be taken care of by packagers.

Possibly (but that might be harder than it seems).  But that's not my point, the
point is that more that those files are marked as %config and thus supposedly...
configurable, modifiable.
