Not an option if your required language settings or
the inclusion or exclusion of desktop bindings (KDE,
Gnome, CUPS) don't match the default options from
wich the package has been built. Also may apply to
X.org (HAL and DBUS dependencies, if they're not
desired or basically useless).

Otherwise, no objections. :-)
