No, because sbopkg isn't what populates that directory. sbopkg uses
/var/cache/sbopkg to download its sources and will clear that directory
when passed when `-o`. It is not involved at all once your run
/opt/google-chrome-the-latest and will require you to do any cleanup (since
it doesn't seem to be provided by that scrip). The script included with the
brave SlackBuild that has *absolutely nothing to do with SBo and tools that
interact with SBo*.

Your grievances should only be taken up with the SlackBuild maintainer
since they decided to include a script that allows building newer versions
than included on SBo without cleaning up the previous sources and seems to
be currently broken.. All this is outside the SBo admins' control since the
SlackBuild itself works properly.

The fact that this is an entirely separate script from the SlackBuild on
SBo intrinsically removes any fault of that script from SBo and its admins
and places it solely on the SlackBuild maintainer.
