Bingo! Lets kill that... And by that I mean the resolving part for the remove (if possible). That check is to make sure that no package owns the empty directory before removing it. So if a package has files there due to a symlink, all will be fine (not empty). The case of having a symlink to a empty directory that needs kept can stay as a "bug" to avoid that massive slow-down.
