See summary. Solution: add "%dir /usr/lib/mirror" to the filelist.
You're right, the direcotry itself isn't listed in the file list for mirror, however the files that are supposed to be in /usr/lib/mirror are. Those files will still be installed in /usr/lib/mirror so it works fine for now. I am resolving this to "not a bug" since all works well with the package (it installs, uninstalls etc.), but it is a valid complaint against a packaging mistake which instead of using the %dir as you suggested, remove all the listings of /usr/lib/mirror/somefile and just have /usr/lib/mirror as the file listing so that all of the files are picked up in that dir, and so is the dir.
