Hi Peter,

It would be great if we could merge these approaches, i.e. have one way
to specify directories that need to be empty and test both as part of
package QA and also image QA.

I was just working on adding some package QA support to what I've had,
but can pause that.

Would you be able to provide show how you'd propose managing the
prohibited directories? I'll try and tweak the image QA stuff already
posted to fit that.
