Source: fwupd
Version: 1.9.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
fwupd ships an empty directory /lib/systemd/system-preset. This
directory is prone to loss since we implemented the /usr-merge using
aliasing. Another package may install a file into
/usr/lib/systemd/system-preset and when that package is removed, this
empty directory is deleted as well.
fwupd used to install a preset file there, but no longer does. This
directory is not crucial to fwupd and can be deleted as well. Once
deleted, it can no longer be lost. I'm attaching a patch for your
convenience.

I confirm that the empty directory is gone as expected.
