Isn't that the whole point of a package manager?

With the exceptions of running processes and manually-added crontab
entries, I would expect a package manager to take care of *all* of that
(and maybe even save a copy of my config files in case I wanted to
reinstall).  I mean, that's what you get with RPM, and people are always
telling me that Debian has *better* package management.
