It might be good to do this anyway. The reason being someone may want
to just change a few keys around. For instance: It took me a long time
before I realized that removing a package didn't actually remove the
config files. Although I was happy to discover the '_' purge key
I think I don't really want to use remove without purge, and
so I'd want to set the default to be purge instead of remove.

Other people might want enter to toggle between select & remove,
and 's' to save changes.
