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


Why not mark changed config files as xxx.unused similarily to rpm marking
xxx.rpmnew and if the package is later reinstalled, remove the "unused"
flag?

Would introduce some complexity but the present situation causes the same
