No.  Those directories are created by Apache, not Hypermail, and as a result
Hypermail shouldn't have @dirrm lines for them.

In fact, I'm not sure if Hypermail should be installing to
share/apache/htdocs in the first place.  I can see the benefit of doing so,
but it causes inter-mingling of data which causes problems. (ie, what
happens if you make custom mods to hypermail.html, and then deinstall
Apache?  Say goodbye to everything in share/apache, including Hypermail!)

The better solution would be to install Hypermail's HTML and CGI scripts to
share/hypermail.  This way, data doesn't "cross-pollinate".  If this route
is chosen, a pkg-message file should be created informing users of where the
files have been installed, and instruct users to copy them into their
cgi-bin and content areas.
