Yes, yes, yes!

I would for sure like to see that feature. The dynamic package list
creating in "ptl2" or "suse_base" package are much more complicated
because of this problem.

BTW: could we also enhance "@dirrm" to create a directories during
pkg_add"? This way we could also get rid of the need to use
"@exec mkdir" for empty directories.

	Kind regards
