Dunno what the correct answer is.  Technically, the scriptlet
dependencies do ensure that scrollkeeper package will be around when
the current package is installed/erased, and thus proper cleanup
will happen if all packages with stuff in omf are removed.  But if
scrollkeeper package is removed after current package install, omf will
be momentarily unowned in the filesystem.  I kinda wonder if people
really go to the trouble of removing the scrollkeeper package in between
though.

Maybe.

Not a bad idea.

I was also asked to start hunting down packages owning dirs already
owned by the filesystem package... :-)
