Well the perl rpm itself owns /usr/share/perl5/Test, so then no
perl-Test-* module should own it.

It's going to be considerably simpler to allow shared directory
ownership rather than force everyone to analyse dependencies and
narrow down ownership where possible.

And of course, there's the possibility that dependencies change in
future and we could end up with unowned directories unless you repeat
the analysis.
