My advice would to just list the files unless the directory is really 
specific for one rpm.
So just list
   /opt2/bin/mybinary
   /opt2/lib/mylibrary
and let rpm deal with creating the directories for your programs.

I guess the exception to that is if there is a directory that you want 
to have specific permissions.  If that is the case, then you should list 
it, giving it the permissions that you want.
