Why are you ghosting files in a location on tmpfs?

I'm not doing this, I even think it is plain wrong, but the openSUSE packaging policies and rpmlint checks suggests/requests/requires this. Please make yourself aware of the current usage of tools and policies.

I guess if you ghost them, then it'd get deleted on rpm uninstall, but it's still weird. If you used %tmpfiles_remove, would we need to ghost tmpfiles?

Ghost files also make rpm -qf show something. The scope of tmpfiles has expanded over time and seems to be used for all kinds of things. So %ghost may be more useful for some entries than others. I wish the tmpfiles mechnism was more integrated into rpm or provided by rpm itself to avoid those scriptlets in the first place.
