Given that we need additional info in the file (the full path to the initial file)
I don't see the point of moving the date of deletion into the filename
of the info file, if we still need an info file anyway. And I think it's better to
use an info file - we can more easily add info into it later if wanted.
Keep in mind that due to the URL-based design, the above filename
will appear to the user (at least when navigating into deleted directories),
so better avoid all those potentially confusing numbers (year first isn't
usual in many countries).
