It is exactly as it is stated in the man page. If I understand your questions properly then answers are: I think yes (for example when you uninstall a package); and no (because if such files have no relation to IPS then they won't appear there; but maybe you thinks about different kind of "relation" :-)). > In any event, I guess IPS doesn't care about them, and I should be free to > delete them if they are uninteresting to me.
