It's your system, the installer doesn't know what you're doing with it. Maybe you have your own programs depending on those files?

On the one hand, cruft hanging around sucks. On the other hand, leaving stuff alone if you can is safer.

Meanwhile dist-upgrade on my vanilla, boring Ubuntu MATE box rendered it unbootable just yesterday.
