Package managers don't track .dotfiles. Those are created at runtime by your software.
There are lots of .dotfiles cluttering my home directory.
No doubt some of them are useful.
Many, though, are probably remnants of packages of years past -- packages
I installed long ago, no longer need, and have removed.
Is there any way of identifying which packages are using which dotfiles?
And which ones are obsolete -- the user equivalent of configuration
files, which are properly tracked by the package manager?
Should there be?
