Removed is just that -- removed from the system.  Salvaged is removed from
the path where it sits, and put into a holding tank for later manual
evaluation.  That tank for us is /var/pkg/lost+found.  Every time a
non-empty directory needs to get removed, its contents are salvaged,
because the packaging system has no way of knowing whether the contents are
safe to delete or are somehow important.  This bit would allow pkg(5) to
know that the contents can be removed, too.
