pkgsrc has absolutely *no business* removing a directory that it did
not create, and we have taken steps to make sure this doesn't happen
(the .pkgsrc files).

however, you raise a good point - this basic test must remain, even
in an improved implementation, to avoid taking several steps
backwards.

I was originally bitten by this with pkgsrc openssh on Solaris.
removing all remote login access to the system as a result of removing
that directory was the unacceptable outcome of pkg_add/pkg_delete
openssh.

grant.
