The right thing is clear: If all the files inside the directory are owned by
packages about to be removed in the transaction, just rm -rf the directory
(or rather the equivalent in C code), otherwise rename it with a suffix
(.rpmsave, if necessary .rpmsave0, .rpmsave1, … , .rpmsave10, …) and only
delete the files owned by packages about to be removed in the transaction.
Right. CLEARLY this would've been Just The Thing to do when /bin changed
from a directory to a /usr/bin symlink. Right?
