Subject:   pkg-plist - dirrm on shared dirs?

What's the correct procedure for dealing with "shared" directories,
possibly created by a port, in the pkg-plist?

A specific case is the irc/pircbot port, according to the URL below there
are two directories (/usr/local/share/java, /usr/local/share/java/classes)
which are left behind.

What should I do with these directories? If I dirrm them there's a chance
they'll fail because another port might have put files in there.

Unless I'm missing something obvious, like a "dirrm if empty" or the
package management stuff is clever enough to know about it.

Cheers,
Tim.
