Sorry but I disagree. Even (or better when) if rpm can remove
packages in the correct order there are situations you can't
avoid having two or more packages owning the same directory
(for good examples check packages in the perl namespace).
The only time we're permitting duplicate directory ownership is when
there is not a clear dependency tree:
Package A uses /usr/foo to store files
Package B uses /usr/foo to store files
Neither package relies on anything that creates /usr/foo, and either
package can be installed independently. Then, and ONLY then can both
packages own /usr/foo.
