I suspect many many packages are "dull":  they include files to be
installed (and they perform 'replace' by filename).  What I *wish* is
that installation of 'smart channels' were done by an "alert" package,
which (optionally?) can *prompt* for whether the channel included in
the package is to be accepted/discarded, and which will not leave the
/etc/smart/channels directory "cluttered up" with unused files.

I've already used tracker for what bothers me more.  My beef here
was the feeling that the install was "disparaging" what I had
already done.  Not worth making an issue - it's just a clash of
preferences.
