Tying to decide what to do about a specific upgrade situation regarding package 
files.

At present:

        DOSDIR is backed up.

         All packages that are going to be installed are removed before 
installation.

        Package data files are backed up.

        The the DOSDIR is purged.

        Package data files are restored.

        New packages are installed.

Issue:

        Packages that have files in the DOSDIR, will lose those files.

Solution 1: (Present behavior)
        
        Let the user worry about it, and let them do a remove/install of those 
packages later.

Solution 2:
        
        Also, uninstall any packages that have any files that reside in the 
DOSDIR.

Solution 3:
        
        Restore the missing files from the backup.
