There would be no asking the user. Fink would simply refuse to install 
the packages if validation fails.

A list of directories (and files) in the .info would suffice. For 
instance, for xfree86-rootless-threaded that would be just

  /usr/X11R6
  /Applications/XDarwin.app

I think there's the assumption with fink that the packages will all get 
installed in %p. I'd like to see that checked, with packages that make 
an exception marked somehow.
