If the file is used to store config info, state info, logging, or the like,
it should not be removed at pkg_delete time.  They should be deleted
manually by the user.

If the file is independent of configuration, don't register it; use:

@unexec rm -f %D/path/to/file 2>/dev/null || true

%D will be replaced automatically by the value of $PREFIX at pkg_delete
time.
