Is that a good idea for new behaviour that results in potential data
loss (from the view of a user that expects `package-delete' to trash
files rather than outright deleting them)? It might be easy to gloss
over an entry in NEWS, after all.
I don't like the default behaviour myself, so I don't personally care
either way.
