Another case of an empty /lib directory (created via a stray .dirs file.

(will file a bug report with patch for zlib).

I didn't catch those in the MBF as I was looking at Contents files 
there, which do not ship empty directories. So this omissions were not 
intentional.

Now that we have the lintian results, I will go over that list again.
That said, is there a way to get a result that is not limited to 5000 
entries. I'm hitting that limit as src:linux creates so many aliased 
locations.
