Nope.  They perform no actions apart from letting the package manager 
that something's installed, since it tracks _packages_, rather than 
_files_.  (The virtual package code does look for individual files, though).

I don't see how /usr/X11R6/include could be empty if you have the X11SDK 
installed correctly, though.  (X11User is another matter).
