I don't want to go into the other arguments (yet). But this argument is
very interesting.
On one hand it ends in privacy problems if a user wants to keep his
configuration stuff of one application (especially when he has a shared
$HOME).
On the other hand there could be a tool to cleanup such stuff. But this
might be not connected with the real packages then better a own
application with a data base of know applications.
