Thanks!

There isn't much in there which hasn't been said in this thread, I
think. It's mostly about not wanting to accidentially remove
certificates or other sensitive auto-generated key material and that
can be handled fine (see my reply to Joe).

And it also didn't fail on passing, it failed on available time in the
session - looks like most people were not rejecting the idea of having
config files (or other generated files) owned by the package, if it
doesn't do harm.
