You stated quite well how it should work. And rpm _does_ work that way -
if root installs a package, it usually is installed system-wide. If a user
installs a package, it's installed for that user only, and he probabely
will have to override the installation path with something he desires.

BTW, there's no problem with overwriting a file brought in with a package
- it's still there, within the package, anyway. You can test for
modifications, and the rpm packager can decide whether a reinstall should
rewrite the file in its original state or leave it alone, keeping the
modified version.
