That wouldn't do anything useful, though (like allow you to remount /usr
ro).

Oh, well, that too, obviously.

The cruft is there anyway, it just doesn't have a file name. Once the
processes die, the cruft'll be cleaned up on the next apt-get run,
not just the next reboot.
Of course even if you don't have philosophical objections, the scripts
aren't particularly time or space efficient, either, more so during
upgrades rather than after.
