Description Alexander Kläser

As we are migrating to Git and as Git cannot handle empty directories, we need to ensure that sources packages do not rely on empty directories during the build process. Instead, the file debian/<packagename>.dirs can be used to indicate that an empty directory needs to be shipped with the package.

If we want to build a package containing a UMC module in UCS 4.1-4 the package build will probably fail. dh_umc is able to ignore not existing files/folders since UCS 4.2-0.

I don't think we need to check the whole code since we build all UCS 4.3 packages and it worked.
