If you are talking about installing only one file like
* emacs/xemacs mode file
* emacs/xemacs init file
* vim files (eg: syntax file)
* bash-completion file
it appears to me a little overkill to create a subpackage but I am
opened to suggestions.
Right now, almost every package that installs the above files appears
to do so in different ways.
Just try to see who owns the directories
* rpm -qf /etc/bash_completion.d/
bash-completion-20060301-1.fc5
rpmlint-0.76-1.fc5
* rpm -qf /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/
desktop-file-utils-0.10-6.1
libidn-0.6.2-1.1
autoconf-2.59-7
gforth-0.6.2-6.fc5
subversion-1.3.1-2.1
fedora-rpmdevtools-1.6-1.fc5
emacs-common-21.4-14
asymptote-1.06-5.fc5
* ... xemacs ...
* ... vim ...
and how many files are symbolic links.
