rather when the package is deleted. This is useful for

deleting links and other ancillary files that were created

By default, directories created by a package installation

are not deleted when the package is deinstalled. This

provides an explicit directory cleanup method. These

directives should appear at the end of the package list. If

the directory is not empty a warning is printed, and the

directory is not removed.</para>

<para>Package list files can be extended by keywords that are

The settings for each keyword lives in a
