I'm not the official word on this but I think Debian "owns" everything but /usr/local (in which it can only make a directory). There are exceptions if your directory isn't in the file system standard (don't remember the correct abreviation). However, I recently saw a nice behaviour from a Sun. Before clobbering a file that Sun didn't "own" (in another package), it prompted me on what it was about to do, by asking if I wanted to clobber them. This would be a nice addition in dpkg/deity.
