I am not sure that this is a good idea. The user should have the right to 
remove your application data if they want to.

This is most likely a good idea. There are a number of places specified by the 
FHS as to where exactly you should put user data, depending on how long you 
want it around, if it is a config file, or the type it is stored as. 

In any case, this is not something you do in your package but rather in your 
application while interacting with the file system.
