Hmm, this assumes a rather specific use case: selecting a particular
combination of options, building everything and installing everything
what was built.

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.
