> Thoughts? One point in favor of the current practice (installing add-on files unconditionally) is the fact that you can basically do it for free - you neither have to depend on additional packages, nor is the presence of the add-on files a penalty in download time or storage.
Further, a lot of packages install _small_ additional files unconditionally - let it be examples, minimal documentation, example configurations - unconditionally. And this is done with the very same reasoning as above; the penalty is small enough to not warrant the introduction of a use flag. Personally, I would not introduce yet another set of global use flags just for the sake of controlling everything with use flags. The complexity this introduces (naming choice - enforcing the rule - ensuring uniformity) is worse than the current behavior of just installing small add-on files. Best, Matthias
