I completely disagree with this proposal. Packages should be
configured so that they run correctly without any environment
variables or other cruft set.
Adding programs to be run automatically is an even worse idea. On a
single-person system, the user knows what software is installed
because he installed it. And a user on a multi-user system certainly
doesn't want random programs run on login because the administrator
thinks they're neat.
