Why would someone want to delete it when it is need? Same things with why
would someone delete library when apps need it? I think it's not our
problem as I haven't seen anyone do that with gnomehier.
Okay, another example. Like Stanislav said, imagine you've
installed gnomehier into PREFIX=A and now you're installing
gfoo into PREFIX=B (A!=B). How will gnomehier ensure that
when both gfoo and gnomehier are deinstalled, nothing is left
behind?
