No I'm not confusing anything :-)

Say you have these two files in your "foo" package :
%{_datadir}/pixmaps/foo/foo.png
%{_datadir}/pixmaps/foo/foo-background.png

You want to put the second one in a separate "foo-extras" sub-package, then
you cannot use your "b)" solution.
What you have to do is use "a)" to have the "%{_datadir}/pixmaps/foo"
directory owned by the main "foo" package and list the first file in that
one and the second one in the "foo-extras"'s %files section.

I hope I've been clear enough...

See my website if you are still confused :

(in the spec file examples section, I've added gdk-pixbuf as an example of
this)

Cheers,
Matthias
