There are cases where SuSEconfig is useable - but there are also cases
where developers were lazy.  SuSEconfig is slow and everybody
complains about it - the easy way to remove it (doing everything in
post-install scripts) will make package installation much slower
(running scripts each time instead of once at the end).  So, we might
end with some scripts in the end - but only the bare minimum...

If this is specific script currently only used to add /opt/gnome, then
this will be obsolete once we switch from /opt/gnome to /usr - and
therefore we should remove it directly before others start using
it. ;-)
