Well, if I understand correctly, the plan is to make the default behavior to activate autocutsel on installation. That's OK with me, since I don't plan on installing it anyway. But, should an admin of a multi-user system install this package he should be aware that this is going to affect all users in the system. I know I would be pissed if an admin did that on a system I use, but, of course, it is his decision to do so or not. But with this default, an installation note is indispensable.
