To be fair, many GNU/Linux packages also leave garbage behind.

Do you expect things not in the package manifest to get cleaned up by thr package removal tools?

This surprises me, I would have thought usees would think package removal would only meant package removal.

Yes, if there is a script generating stuff at install time, there should be a script deleting the same stuff at removal time.

Most of the time there isn't one.

This is not what is generally expected at package removal, at least from my understanding.

Where do you draw the line at removal, configuration files, user created documents, config files on networked home directories.

I dont think you are being unreasonable, maybe we need better clean up depending on what the user needs..

It would mean tracking the creator of filws and tagging them appropriately, using this list during uninstall.
