I think directories are different, especially since it is difficult (at
best) in an automated buildsystem to create them with the same timestamp
(which is part of what RPM evaluates for determining if items are the
"same").

In the past, a bunch of directories just went un-owned, but that caused
other problems, so there was a push to get them all owned.  Some
multilib packages took the separate-RPM approach.

I'd hardly call 24 *-filesystem-*.rpm packages "a gazillion" though. :)
