There's a big difference between compiling things such that they are
compiled with a modern gcc and C library, adhere to the FSSTND/FHS,
and are normally difficult to remove and this. These are *one* file
each. Many packages are dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of files,
making removal a lot more difficult. What's so hard about removing
one file?
