12 Is this really necessary? It would go against the principles of well design.
13 Not editing a configuration file should not break a system. In any case, make
14 sure that this configuration that must be removed, can only be added by the
15 user manually. If you merge a package and immediately ummerge that package,
16 the state of the system should be unchanged.
