Followup-For: Bug #795796

Hello.

Removing the package must remove all files installed system-wide, but
almost never remove files created by the executable in the user home
directories (given by $HOME or ~). If you look under your own ~ for
files with names starting with a dot (usually hidden by your
navigator), you will discover *lots* of files created by random
executables and never ever removed.

If you think that Oolite should create less files in ~, or use a
different directory structure, or use names starting with a dot,
please discuss this with GNUstep upstream, as the rationale has
nothing specific to oolite: all GNUstep applications use the same
directory structure on many platforms, including MacOSX were Defaults
and Library have special meanings.

I am not a big fan of this directory structure, but it does exist for
good reasons.
