this affects only the people using the autocutsel package from [community].
Autocutsel is useful for people not using a DE and want to adjust the behaviour of the X clipboard. If you are already provided with such a tool, or the way X deals with clipboard contents by default suits you then you don't need it.
Ok, but nevertheless the user should have the choice, even if it's just within the autocutsel package.
So a global configuration can make much sense, but it should be possible to overwrite it with a local per user configuration. But I don't know enough about autocutsel to decide if this is possible and how this can be done.
Well, if I understand correctly, the plan is to make the default behavior to activate autocutsel on installation. That's OK with me, since I don't plan on installing it anyway. But, should an admin of a multi-user system install this package he should be aware that this is going to affect all users in the system. I know I would be pissed if an admin did that on a system I use, but, of course, it is his decision to do so or not. But with this default, an installation note is indispensable.
