Right after the installation - of course not. No sane package manager
should change any file in the user's $HOME.
But, if we count the first launch of installed programs - it could
happen. It all depends on the software you're using.
For example, anything that's linked with libdconf will surely create all
kinds of blobs (and xml and stuff) in your $HOME.
Anything that's linked with libqt will happily produce blobs in your
$HOME too.
Somewhat oldschool mutt won't do anything by itself, but you can always
create a .muttrc by yourself.
