pkgbuild currently adds all the parent directories to the packages.
We can stop doing that for IPS packages, however some directories
need to be listed explicitly for SVr4, because they have non-default
attributes (e.g. root:sys for /usr/share).  So, as long as we build
both svr4 and IPS from the same specs, we need to list these
directories and then they will also be in the IPS packages.
