Yes, they're marked as %config, as is distro.py:

%config %{_prefix}/lib/smart/distro.py
%dir %{_sysconfdir}/smart
%dir %{_sysconfdir}/smart/channels
%config %{_sysconfdir}/smart/channels/*.channel

Christoph, make sure that you've marked the directories with %dir
%dir %{_sysconfdir}/smart
%dir %{_sysconfdir}/smart/channels

and not like this:
%{_sysconfdir}/smart

The 2nd form means that the smart package owns the directory and
anything below it.

cheers
