When the packages are created, and subsequently installed, will empty directories be recreated? One user used pkg_add emacs20, and evidently the directory /usr/local/share/emacs/20.3/leim (which is empty) was not created. Emacs mkdir's this at install time, and issues a diagnostic if it is not found at run time, but if leim (an optional component of Emacs) is not installed the directory remains empty. How is this handled?
