Many perl packages own same directories. I don't know how easy will it
be to implement the "properness" of their duplicate dir ownerships.
See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl#Directory_Ownership

There are also corner cases. For instance /usr/lib/dssi/ is owned by
both dssi and dssi-vst-wine. The reason is dssi-vst-wine is built on
i586 only and puts its files in /usr/lib/dssi/dssi-vst/
But dssi-vst-wine is in the multilib whitelist and hence is also
available in the x86_64 repo. There is nothing else in the x86_64 repo
that would own /usr/lib/dssi/ because dssi itself does not need to be
multilibbed. So dssi-vst-wine is owning it.

I know the above example is confusing but it shows that one must be
*very careful* when "fixing" the multiple ownerships.
