In particular, the run-time check for /usr/games/fortune was there because a user might not install /usr/games, even though it was part of the built release. With "packaged base", this possibility will remain important. Also, dotfiles might be shared between systems by users. This is an objection against customizing dot.* file contents depending on options, not against conditionally installing dot.* files. -- Jilles Tjoelker
