How are directories managed.



This may be a FAQ but I could not find the answer in the documentation:

How are directories managed? When does a directory get deleted? What is the 
lifetime of a directory? Is a directory owned by a specific package?

Which packages are alowed to deposit files in a specific directory? What exactly 
are the rules?

If a package wants to put files in a directory, how does the package "know" 
that the directory will live longer than the file?
