According to the new policy, if site-wide customization does make sense,
then the file needs to be below /etc/texmf, anyway - no empty dirs
needed. If it's just an empty directory that used to contain files in
sarge, and those files are now regarded as "configuration files maybe,
but only in the sense of configuring a document or project, or one
single user's preferences", then I'd rather have the empty directory
removed upon upgrade, and not only upon removal/purge.
