The files are indeed meant to be executed by a program (not directly by the
user). However, they are not in %{_libexecdir} but in %{_prefix}/lib. This
conforms to FHS and debian packaging guidelines but apparently not quite to
fedora's...
Would it be as simple as adding "mv %{_prefix}/lib %{_libexecdir}" somewhere?
