This is a correctness thing. It came up on the list before - ideally rpm
should auto-own all directories a package uses (this would solve every
single dangling directory problem and simplify specs a lot) but this
would probably inflate the rpm db a bit and the rpm maintainer never
managed to convince his fellow redhaters to make this change.

With manual partial owning one needs to be extra-careful - if you're not
sure one of the directories used will always be owned by another package
claiming it is the sane answer.
