Xavier, sorry for the late response. I think this bug (8672) and 11187 are actually the same and I just managed to find a separate bug which was preventing uploads of dependencies. Removing directories would not have remedied the bug that was solved. I'll close this and continue the line of investigation via 11187 since there are more relevant details about the bug there. I believe that the list of bad directories at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_CleanUp_Day is still pretty relevant. We can now automate removal of all files of packages that aren't in the database. Since users can no longer delete packages, so there's little chance of malicious adoption then deletion of packages. I think using the wiki page to list bad directories is a great idea. I've edited the bug report (11187) directing users to do that.

Just a reminder that this wiki page exists : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/New_Trusted_User_Checklist It should be easier to maintain and update it that way.
