Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 The reproducibility argument doesn't hold AFAIC, not with my proposed
 implementation which is activated using a non-default variant. Also, I'm
 not sure what good a reproducibility principle is if you allow for things
 to be removed between the unpacking and the moving-into-place or something
 with the same effect. You'd still end up with host/user specific installs.
 I think that if I had to debug an issue related to this kind of feature,
 I'd prefer to be able to request the archive and check what's in there
 rather than infer what goes on during a post-activate stage.

 For the rest I do agree, it's something that could go into "base". I don't
 like calling it "purge" though: semantically that means you have to
 indicate what languages you do not want while typically you have a much
 better defined idea of the ones you do want.
