If you are talking about gdk-pixbuf2, then I think that package is actually
doing a wrong thing. Probably just an oversight, not something deliberate.

gdk-pixbuf2 currently has:
%files devel
%{_datadir}/gtk-doc/html/*

... and no dependency on gtk-doc.

What matters for RPM directory handling is that every single directory has to
be owned by something. If we put files in %{_datadir}/gtk-doc/html/*, then
%{_datadir}/gtk-doc/ and %{_datadir}/gtk-doc/html/ need to be either owned by
this package or something that it depends on, otherwise RPM will leave
directories behind when it removes this package.

In that FPC thread people were suggesting adding these directories to either
gnome-filesystem, filesystem, gtk-doc-filesystem, or making every package
co-own these directories. Until any of these *filesystem packages are
introduced, we have two options:

1) depend on gtk-doc
2) co-own both directories.

I think lets leave the gtk-doc dep as it is right now and wait for FPC
decision. I'll keep an eye on the discussion and will update the package
accordingly.
