That's still the case when installing from
FreeBSD-15.0-PRERELEASE-amd64-20250819-02a8fadd2c4d-279701-disc1.iso.
Unlike distribution tarballs, packages don't include empty directories,
and the installer does not run mtree to create them like installworld
does. We need to figure out the best way to do this. A postinstall
script in FreeBSD-mtree might work. Or perhaps it should be done
piecemeal, so FreeBSD-zfs is responsible for creating /etc/zfs, and the
FreeBSD-caroot is responsible for creating /etc/ssl/certs. To me it
seems logical FreeBSD-runtime should create the directory hierarchy, but
FreeBSD-mtree depends on FreeBSD-runtime, so that wouldn't work, unless
we merged FreeBSD-mtree into FreeBSD-runtime.
ISTR that just adding the package= tag in ^/etc/mtree is sufficient to
actually package the empty directory. See Lexi's approach for /tmp and /dev
in 6b2993e74ebaacd46bd1e438787c23450cd2752d.
