The comment says something about ensuring that the lock directory
exists, presumably for future invocations of opkg.  I guess this is to
support O_P_M="add" kind of semantics.  

As far as I know there's no other reason that postinsts should
expect/require the opkg directory to exist.  So I think it should
probably be safe just to delete it if O_P_M="none".
