I think you're missing the point of the task.  The task isn't to mark
perfectly in every spec file exactly what a package contains.  Instead
it can mark the easy cases, and denote something in the hard cases so
that when an issue arises, we can easily weed out the easy cases and
focus on the hard ones manually.
