List only the top-level files and directories your package should
own.  For example, list %{_datadir}/yourapp/ as a directory, not all
its contents.  That way your package will own the directory *and* the
contents.  List files in system directories (e.g., %{_bindir}/yourapp)
individually.  This technique properly delegates file/directory
ownership.
