That could work, I was actually thinking about making rpmbuild check for 
unowned dirs during rpm building, like it does for unpackaged files now.

The idea: If a package contains a file which is in a dir (component) 
which is not owned by, filesystem or any of its dependencies, complain.
Preferrably complain loudly (as in refuse to write the final RPM)
