IIRC I this was discussed a few times before, with no obvious outcome. I
think we still can do that later if need arises (I don't think it really
will).

I had a look at what pkgs have which files, and most of them only have 1-2
"misc" files, if any. I don't think it's worth keeping a subdirectory for
them, the pkg directory itself can store them just fine most of the time.

Just because we can safe a few inodes doesn't mean we should make our code
more complex than necessary.
