Hmm.  Are you assuming that you can figure out what directories are
added by the package and what are added by the system (or a dependent
package) automatically?  I'm not so sure you can.  The package
maintainer is probably the only one who can know that for sure.  I
suppose you can just remove empty directories but then you lose the
warning when a directory is expected to be empty but isn't.
