OK. We have also to keep in mind that this should coexist with the
post install script we are planning to run, to remove unneeded files
(which only *sometimes* are docs). Those scripts should not abort or
complain trying to remove dirs/files never installed, and *not* remove
docs (without asking) if the user said "keep them".
