How should the nvme-cli package generate its host "NQN"?

There's a request for the nvme-cli package to generate a unique name
to use when connecting to NVMe-over-fabrics targets:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1633814

I'm wondering what the right approach is.  For the various Atomic
variants, ISTM it's not very nice for the package to generate files in
/etc in a postinstall script.  And it also seems like it might be
surprising for a remove-and-reinstall of nvme-cli to generate a whole
new NQN.

Maybe /etc/machine-id could just be symlinked to /etc/nvme/hostnqn.
Or maybe the user should be responsible for setting it up themselves.
Or maybe installing nvme-cli could create an NQN but uninstalling
could leave it there?

Is there any guidance for how to handle this?

Debian has "purge" for things like this, but I don't think Fedora has
any equivalent.
