I only discovered it by accident and so I used "dpkg -S" to see what
owned the stray directories.  Shotwell was returned as the answer.  I
use Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit.

I retrieved the deb from "/var/cache/apt/archives" and extracted the
deb.  I get "/home/nate/Downloads/shotwell_0.3.2-1~karmic1_amd64/usr".
$ls
"bin share usr"
Looks to me a stray extra empty usr dir.

Exact PPA
https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/ppa
I used this method to add the repository.
ppa:yorba/ppa

Exact command and answer.
nate at universal-mechanism:~$ dpkg -S /usr/usr
shotwell: /usr/usr
