[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45369] pkg build leads to duplication of PKG_ADD and PKG_DEL files

[Olaf Till]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45369 (project octave):

I wasn't aware of pkg build copying PKG_ at package root to both
arch-dependent and -independent directories. But this should surely not be
done.

I think disallowing PKG_ at package root is not the right solution.

Suggestion: PKG_ at package root always only into one directory, either
arch-dependent or -independent. PKG_ directives from source-files or installed
files also each directive only in one of arch-dep. or -indep. directory.
Doesn't actually matter into which. And then: All PKG_ADD directives of a
package should be called only after having added _both_ arch-dep. and -indep.
directory to the path, and correspondingly for PKG_DEL.

The latter (after 'And then:') was implemented in the unapplied patch:
