You've got to be careful how you phrase that -- it could cause some pretty
serious problems if / isn't explicitly owned by some package, for example.
Otherwise, I agree. Debian claims jurisdiction over everything except
/opt, /usr/local, and /home ...
Anything someone doesn't want removed when a package is purged
should go in one of those.
