My whole point here is that *has* to be explicit.  In the future
someone might call that function without calling fwu_empty_capsule()
first.  So we either
1. add an explicit else if and dont rely on fwu_empty_capsule() being
called out of band
2. Move calling fwu_empty_capsule in fwu_empty_capsule_process()
3. Add an extra argument

Any of these is fine with me, I just don't like allowing people to
shoot themselves in the foot, because at some point the will
