Created package owns directory?

Hi all,

After verifying my package with `namcap` and running `pacman -Qlp` on it, I wonder why it shows the whole directory structure leading up to the individual files.
I.e.

k290-fnkeyctl /usr/
k290-fnkeyctl /usr/lib/
k290-fnkeyctl /usr/lib/systemd/
k290-fnkeyctl /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/
k290-fnkeyctl /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/k290-fnkeyctl.sh

I don't want my package to own all these /usr directories?!
After looking through both PKGBUILD and makepkg options, I couldn't find anything to fix this.
Maybe I'm just reading that output wrong and it doesn't actually mean that the package "owns" these directories?

All the best
Marcus

All packages with a file in /usr own that directory.

^ This.

Run e.g.

pacman -Qo /usr

to check for yourself.
