nope, %ghost files are known from rpm database.
rpm -qpl task-obsolete-1-1.mga2.noarch.rpm
/usr/share/doc/task-obsolete
/usr/share/doc/task-obsolete/README.null-dummy.obsolete.urpmi
/usr/share/doc/task-obsolete/README.null.obsolete.urpmi

we can|should do both.

I'm not particularly attached at the current system, but I find it works
rather well.
If we want that users read informations, the information should be
relevant in the context (too many informations, kill information);
e.g. it's useless (personnaly, I consider it's bad) to display
information about install when we update a package, and vice versa (I
don't know debian, and if the unique file README.debian allow this).
