dealing with "contrib" type directories

A couple of the things I package have "contrib" directories, and I'm
wondering what the appropriate method is for dealing with them.
Traditionally, I put them in %doc, which seems like a reasonable enough
place.
This brings me to my second problem: dependencies. rpm automatically
extracts dependencies from all executable scripts in a package,
including those listed in %doc. To get around this, I have to chmod all
of the files in contrib directories to be non-executable.
Is this the correct way to handle things? Is there a better way?
