Those files are usually only created with fillup and its respective

Have I said otherwise ? ;) I know how they are created, Im just saying they
should be gone when the package that uses them is removed from the system.

Actually, I happen to agree. Over time, /etc/sysconfig gets polluted
with lots of bits from packages that have come-and-gone. Would marking
them as %ghost get them removed when the package is erased?

If the configuration was changed by the user, then the files should
possibly stay, in case the user reinstall the package later.
