After installation 2 files must be deleted (I don't know which is the best way to do this in the Portfile):

You can't really delete those files on install, but they are an old holdover from before we had destroot.keepdirs , so you can probably change the portfile to no longer generate them.
I don't understand. destroot.keepdirs generates those files as well. Wouldn't deleting them in the post-activate phase still adhere to our guidelines? I hope so because I did that with one port of mine. I wish there were a better way to create empty directories.
Yeah, unfortunately those files are actually created by destroot.keepdirs. I think because at various places empty directories are otherwise nuked, which probably isn't advisable. Patches are welcome. James
