Yes, I've read the Wiki page. I still opted to create my own "genplist"
target and wrap it in MAINTAINER_MODE to start handling some of the %%
variables.

If bar is a directory, I expect to see errors from the package tools
here, but I haven't tried it. If bar is a file, then it doesn't change
owner of media/foo (tested). Further more, it would be rather hard to do
so, since in this case, www/magento should be left untouched.

This directive is processed on deinstallation. I don't think it will
work but I have not tested it.

Thanks for answering.
