I have filed a bug against filesystem: BZ 911831.

I get 46 owners of /usr/lib/debug, that can't be all debug packages...

Shall we file a bug against rpm, saying that claiming the complete path 
doesn't really work? I see the problems here, if rpm shouldn't claim the 
complete path /usr/lib/debug/lib/whatever, the part to claim is more or 
less arbitrary.

Some macro defining the "system" paths i. e., the paths belonging to 
filesystem and not to the debug package?

Must guidelines be updated.?

Here are dragons...

Chers!
