Hmmm? Tom's announcement doesn't mention any such confusion.

Are there really dependencies on directories being used which cause the
depsolver to pull in a wrong package? Dependencies on paths outside /etc
and *bin* ought to be the exception, not the rule. In particular, since
they require the optional filelists metadata to be downloaded and parsed.

I've recently cleaned up some wrong ownership of %_libdir/pkgconfig/, but
in general I think Tom should rather help with fixing unowned directories
and implicit conflicts instead. ;)
