NACK!

A package NEVER EVER touches $HOME. NEVER! I wish ascii could produces 
some bigger capitals that blink and have baseballbats to get the point 
across, but sadly it can't.

Imagine I don't log in as root and fire up packagekit to install that 
packages. I don't get the .blackboxrc, but the root user suddenly has 
his .blackboxrc overwritten without notice.

So:

A package NEVER EVER touches $HOME. NEVER!

${sysconfdir} exists for a reason.
