On the other hand this is not really something that you must do on your computer, since it doesn't take a significant amount of disk space. > Does this change your mind about installing Cruft Remover by default? I wouldn't impose it to everyone just because of old conffiles, but it certainly makes sense to me if you can use it for freeing a lot of disk space, when it becomes scarce. I. e. with apt-get autoremove, remove huge rotated log files, cleaning stuff in ~/.cache, clean old kernels, etc. Does it do any of those? If so, then let's add it to the desktop seed. Thank you!
