Hey all, I've just added a draft proposal for limiting file dependencies
in packages. It's a "should" recommendation at this point.

== Problem ==
How often does this problem really occur? I just checked core's x86_64
packages and there are exactly 12 files in such dependencies
affecting 18 packages out of 2422 (that's 0.7%):
cman-kernel dlm-kernel gamin-python gdm GFS-kernel gnbd-kernel httpd
ImageMagick-perl inn libvirt-python libxml2-python libxslt-python
openldap-servers openmotif openssh-server python-lcms redhat-lsb
vsftpd
That's 0.7%. I thought that the problem was much larger. I either
miscalculated the number of file dependencies or there is no problem :)
And the same metrics for extras: 26 files required by 27 packages out
of 3660 packages:
chess clamav-devel ctapi-cyberjack cvs2cl em8300-devel freefont
ftnchek-emacs gnash-plugin libibverbs-devel mimetex
mozilla-opensc-signer openbox openct pcsc-perl perl-Image-Info pyxdg
SoQt-devel tuxpaint util-vserver util-vserver-legacy util-vserver-sysv
uuid-devel uuid-pgsql uuid-php w3c-markup-validator-libs
x11-ssh-askpass xmms
That's again 0.7%, so the combined Fedora is at 0.7%, too.
Well, my initial calculations found 32 file based deps outside of "/etc
{/usr,}/{s,}bin/" in Extras 6 x64 ;-) Just to note, I mentioned that
when I started the whole mess after skvidal poked me about it. See
