So I think the current situation is that there's several options.  The
preferred option is to have all of the packages that install files there own
the directory.  The question for the packaging committee is whether we
should:

A) Require that in the Guidelines
B) Say that we, the FPC, support people changing gtk-doc requiring packages
   to own the directory instead.
C) Say that we, the FPC, consider this to be a matter of maintainer choice
   where it doesn't matter at all if the packages require gtk-doc or own the
   directory.

If that sounds correct, could you copy/paste that into a new ticket on
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/

and give it the meeting keyword?
