A while back I reported corruption of the kernel-devel package when building
dkms modules for kernels = 3.5 - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860529 . Specifically, the
System.map file in /usr/src/kernels/* for the corresponding kernel is deleted.
It has now stopped happening as of

Dunno about the System.map (other than I've always relied on the ones in
/boot), but as for the timestamps, kernel-devel itself causes that as it
runs hardlink on itself at package post-installation.
Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware
the copy in /usr/src/kernels/ is
world-readable and the one in /boot/ isn't, for example
[root@compaq-pc ~]# ls -l /boot/System.map-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64
/usr/src/kernels/3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64/System.map

/boot/System.map-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64

I've noticed that immediately after installing the kernel-devel package, the
mtimes on many of its files fail verification, for example
[root@compaq-pc ~]# rpm -V kernel-devel-3.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64
...T./usr/src/kernels/3.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64/Kconfig
...T.
