That is contradicted by the following quote from the Packaging Guidelines: | Sometimes, it may be preferable for such directories to be owned by | an "artificial filesystem" package, such as mozilla-filesystem. These | packages are designed to be explicitly required when other packages | store files in their directories, thus, in such situations, these | packages should explicitly Require the artificial filesystem package | and not multiply own those directories. That is, each of those 1600 packages would need to require systemd-filesystem. Perhaps the filesystem package should own these directories? Not systemd-filesystem, just filesystem. The case is rather similar to /usr/share/bash-completion, /usr/share/man, /usr/share/info and various other directories that filesystem owns. Björn Persson
