So you mean, that every package has a
%dir /usr/.../font
line in %files? Okay, but then we are talking about different things.
I was talking about the way /var/www/cgi-bin is created right now in
the Mandrake apache RPM. It is created, because it contains files
which are in /var/www/cgi-bin, and that's why I brought up the
/usr/bin example. Many packages have files in /usr/bin, but on
Mandrake exactly one package provides this directory: basesystem.
So I don't get what you wanted to say with the X font packages
example. But that's OT here.

What do you mean by "external flag"? I thought about checking for the
existance of /etc/mandrake-release, and if this file is present, I
would have assumed that this is a Mandrake distro. Or I might do a
"rpm -q --queryformat '%{RELEASE}' rpm | grep -q mdk && echo TRUE" (or
something like that). Would these be "external flags"?
