Well, from the source, I get:

$ rpm -qpl hobbit-4.2.0-1.src.rpm
hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz
hobbit-client.default
hobbit-client.init
hobbit-init.d
hobbit.logrotate
hobbit.spec

(Notice no directories)

The install package:
$ rpm -qpl FC5-hobbit-4.2.0-1.i386.rpm | more
/etc/hobbit
/etc/hobbit/bb-hosts
/etc/hobbit/bb-services
/etc/hobbit/bbcombotest.cfg
/etc/hobbit/client-local.cfg
/etc/hobbit/columndoc.csv
/etc/hobbit/hobbit-alerts.cfg
/etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg
/etc/hobbit/hobbit-nkview.cfg
/etc/hobbit/hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak
  :
  :

(Notice directory names included)

But when I tried to install the source, I got (because of permissions):
$ rpm -i ../hobbit-4.2.0-1.src.rpm
error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

So, it appears that there is some directory information that the -qpl
switch doesn't display
