[pacman-dev] pacman and same empty dirs in both pkgs, problem?

-1. This would induce a memory usage boost for fixing a minor issue.  
Pacman would load _all_ local filelists (the "big" part of local  
database, in addition, loading is slow with empty disk-cache) in even  
many simple "-S one_package" operations. I have seen  
dont.remove.this.file many times so far (for example, in "empty" dirs  
of some archives), that is much easier in this case, too.
