 The empty-directory problem. If package FOO includes an empty  
 directory--say, FOO/BAR--then:  
 .IP  
 1.  
 if no other package has a BAR subdirectory, everything's fine.  
 .IP  
 2.  
 if another stowed package, QUUX, has a BAR subdirectory, then  
 when stowing, TARGETDIR/BAR will be ``split open'' and the  
 contents of QUUX/BAR will be individually stowed. So far, so  
 good. But when unstowing QUUX, TARGETDIR/BAR will be  
 removed, even though FOO/BAR needs it to remain. A  
 workaround for this problem is to create a file in FOO/BAR as  
 a placeholder. If you name that file  
 .IR .placeholder ,  
 it will  
 be easy to find and remove such files when this bug is fixed.
