Because pkgviews handle shared directories automatically.  Directories are
only removed when there are no more files in them (which is what -dirs pkgs
do in overwrite mode).

=46rom bsd.pkg.mk:

=2Eif defined(USE_DIRS) && !empty(USE_DIRS) && \
    ${PKG_INSTALLATION_TYPE} =3D=3D "overwrite"
=2E  include "../../mk/dirs.mk"
=2Eendif

Yes please.  They may be still required if you install an overwrite package=
 in
a pkgviews world, but in that case, having -dirs packages pkgviewified is
pointless.
