Hear, hear!  Really, it's the guidelines that make reviewers and packagers
come up with strange "solutions" such as these use of triggers.

Other packagers find themselves in a trap and create package dependency
bloat just to get the dir ownership "right". Even if they are unhappy with
the result.

E.g. seahorse-plugins requires gedit and epiphany. Hard to believe, but
it's true. :-/
