NAK, there are people actually relying on %ghost sizes being recorded and taken
into account on free disk space checking. That said, in MOST cases the %ghost
size is simply fubar and we'd be better off not recording it. I could imagine
something like %ghost(size=1234K) but even that is breaking backwards
compatibility.
For directories, simply setting size to zero in packages would probably be the
least wrong value - the size of directory is an implementation detail of the
installation-time target filesystem and build-time doesn't have a clue. And
many of the directories that rpm deals with already exist on the fs, but again
the build-time doesn't have a clue.
