| 6 | The PMS says that empty directories are undefined, so the portage |
| 7 | behavior of installing them and leaving them alone leads to |
| 8 | incompatibilities. Ebuilds rely on the portage behavior, and if another |
| 9 | PM (within its rights) deletes them, then the package breaks with the |
| 10 | non-portage PM. |
