6 - don't use ${ROOT} outside of pkg_*
7 - en/disabling functionality based on existence of files is kinda
8 gross, especially when based on what exists on the compiling system,
9 which could be different than the system the package is ultimately
10 installed on. yes it doesn't make much difference right now, but
11 what happens if hal does start making good use of pci.ids someday?

13 having pciutils install both a compressed and uncompressed file when
14 zlib is enabled is a much cleaner solution IMO.
