[arch-general] Acceptable for AIF to copy files?

Hello I want to add extlinux support in AIF. However, unlike grub, where grub-install takes care of everything, extlinux requires /boot/syslinux to be created and some files from /usr/lib/syslinux to be copied to /boot/syslinux. Initially I though that creating a extlinux pkg that would include the needed file in /boot would be a good idea. Needless to say, there is mixed opinion on this. See link for more info: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21766 So... Is it acceptable for AIF to create /boot/syslinux and copy files from /usr/lib/syslinux to /boot/syslinux? Do we only want to let pacman and upstream install tools create directories and copy files during the install process? ~pyther
