@dchest:

Technically, these files belong in the user-specific ~/ directory and not the package itself, according to the ADC specifications, if I'm not mistaken.

By removing some files from distribution I mean, for example, getting rid of some resources, like nibs or images, etc.

I guess the simplest solution would be to use metadata to identify a package as being a package and not a folder? That way it wouldn't matter what software was installed, etc?
