[ATrpms-users] /lib/modules/2.6.23.N-NN.fc8/updates/drivers not removed on kernel update

Various kmdl packages create the directory ../updates/drivers when
installed.
However, these directories are not removed when kernels are updated
and the corresponding old kernel kmdl packages are removed.
The result is I get left with old, stale (empty) module directories
hanging around.
The problem lies only in some of the kmdl specs.
For example,
nvidia does it right and has:
%{kdmdl_moduledir}
But lirc has:
%{kmdl_moduledir}/drivers/lirc
(which in my case explains why ../updates/drivers is not removed)
Similarly gspcav1 (and the uvc rpm that I just patterned on it) has:
%{kmdl_moduledir}/drivers/usb/media/gspca.*o
which will leave you with: ../drivers/usb/media
In any case I will rebuild my new uvc rpm the right way and resubmit
it to you.
