This is first thing what I think about. It should works very efficient
within {OWN|MAKE}_DIRS, but currently troublesome within
{OWN|MAKE}_DIRS_PERMS (so as it composed from four-parts records).

Maybe it is better define {OWN|MAKE}_DIRS only, and then use
{OWN|MAKE}_DIRS.${SOME_DIR} variables, like RCD_*. For example:

OWN_DIRS=			/var/db/package /var/log/package /var/spool/package
OWN_DIRS./var/db/package=	owner root 0755
OWN_DIRS./var/spool/package=	owner daemon 0700

Please note, the "/var/log/package" obtains its default value.
