You can think about having 2 PKG_ADD files in the package source tree:
- one in top-level dir, installed in package directory
- one in src dir, installed in arch-dependent directory (because it
usually relates
oct-files and autoload)

However, I can probably live with the current situation and find a workaround;
for me, it's not that mandatory.
