I would advocate the use of %ghost. It works, provided the contents of
all the targets are the same, ie, if they all use:
touch /far/bar
Conflicts will arise to simply highlight pkgs not following the
convention (ie, being a valuable debugging tool).
Sounds good to me.
Thanks for the comments. I'll incorporate them in the draft and present
it later for approval.

R.
