In my opinion using %doc for the content of the contrib directory is
appropriate. Here is my reasoning:
- %{datadir}/%{name} is being used for data (pictures, ui definition, ...) of
the applications in the package (utils from contrib are not "data", but
executables), FHS defines /usr/share as "architecture-independent data"
- both we and upstream don't provide any support for the utils, using
%{datadir}/%{name} can imply that support is provided
- there are other packages that store "contrib" as %doc exactly in this sense
