Just thought I'd throw my 2c in here: making sure that there is a 1:1
mapping for pkg to directory is a bit pedantic. What problem are we
(as in packagers) actually trying to solve?
rmdir will always fail upon package removal if a directory is in the
%files section. This is silent and not visible to the user.
Requires based on directories are founded on a fragile footing. If
requires based on directories were sufficiently robust, then, things
like python-abi or python(abi) never really needed to come out of the
framework.
Thoughts?
