So do_split_packages() effectively has this if you set recursive=True,
as os.walk() returns an empty list if you pass it a non-existent
directory (it's documented as ignoring errors from os.listdir).

So, what is the behaviour do_split_packages() should have if the split
root doesn't exist - should it error, ignore, or there be an option?

(note that pre-automake 1.12 this rarely happened because the
directory would exist but be empty, now with 1.12 it doesn't install
empty directories)
