When specifying an empty list for the list of data_files in a given directory, the entire directory is being deleted on uninstall of the wheel, even if it contained other resources.
Example:
```
from setuptools import setup
setup(name='remover', data_files=[('share/plugins', [])])
```
The expected behavior is that only the specified list of files is removed, (which is empty in that case).
When the list is not empty, the behavior is the one expected. For example
```
from setuptools import setup
setup(name='remover', data_files=[('share/plugins', ['foobar.json'])])
```
will only remove `foobar.json` on uninstall and the `plugins` directory will not be removed if it is not empty.

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils. If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools |
