And it would violate the Golden Rule: Root Is God. ;-)
So whatever she does on her system, we should honor it as much as
possible. Though it should of course be clear to *her* that whatever
she does in parts that are not /etc or /usr/local (or some dir not
specified in FHS), is not guaranteed not to trash her system or be
removed or otherwise broken whenever Debian feels like it.
