(In reply to Remi Collet from comment #3)
> Perl-modules are supposed to own all directories ...
I will never understand why this exception to common Guidelines still
exists... It have sense when %{perl_vendorarch} was versionned... but now ?
And I will never understand why Fedora has not adopted this on a wider scale,
because the need to track parent packages is the origin of numerous
installation/uninstallation issues in Fedora.
Anyway, the answer is quite simply: KISS.
Most perl modules no not have strict dependencies on parent packages, which
means there also are no strict deps on parent directories. To avoid getting
lost in dir-ownership problems, when perl-modules change, we once agreed to
generalize for reasons of simplicity and treat all perl-modules as "plugins".
Admitted, in case of this particuliar package is bit stretching this thought,
but this approach has helped kept packaging simple and avoiding many issues.
