Should packages providing appdata files own /usr/share/metainfo?

[Richard Shaw]

During a package review rpmlint noted that the package did not own
/usr/share/metainfo.

A cursory "rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/share/metainfo" returned no results.

I know rpm can handle multiple packages owning a directory these days but I
don't think it is correct for a package only providing an appdata file to
own /usr/share/metainfo...

So what package should?

Thanks,
Richard
