>Description:
When removing a package, pkg_delete should remember all directories where files
have been removed, and at the end try to remove these directories if they are
empty.
This would make many @dirrm lines in PLIST files superfluous. It would also
make the *-dirs packages needless, as far as I have understood the concept
behind them.
Packages that need an empty directory under $PREFIX then need a way to
explicitly specify this. I expect the number of these packages to be fairly
small.
>How-To-Repeat:
grep -r ^@dirrm $pkgsrcdir
