This needs explanation why is this a bad thing.

What's wrong with this:

%files %defattr(-,root,root-) %{_localstatedir}/gnomovision %attr(2755,root,uucp) %{_localstatedir}/gnomovision/twat/lock

And what's wrong with having two subpackages both providing a file of same name and attributes, being able to both install either of them or both side by side?
