A very good point - indeed packaging systems have a manifest of what was
installed before and remove the old files.  I am not sure that is
always, but I would view a packaging system that left a
(non-user-configuration) file from a deinstalled package to be buggy.

It is absolutely not ok to expect that any files from a previous install
are present.

(I have not paged in the rest of the issues; I'm still behind processing
various geo updates after the pkgsrc freeze which just ended.)
