I think it's not possible, sometimes config files move from being installed in /etc by default to not having a default but still used, such a tool would remove those. sysclean is great, and for files in "system owned" directories like /usr/lib, /usr/include, /usr/share and the various bin directories, in almost all cases the list of files can be removed directly. But for "user owned" directories like /etc that's very much not the case.
