That can be done, I guess. My only concern would be package managers that
don't like their installed files to be externally modified.. Gentoo, for
example, will not remove a file when uninstalling if the md5sum or some other
property doesn't match what it was installed with. Subsequently, trying to
install a package when the file exists may cause a complaint that existing
files will be overwritten.
