This additional complexity is required to provide a generic solution. What
you imagine is a solution for your very own desktop and setup (the way you

Rather than hoping that someone else will do something I want, I prefer to
do what I want myself. This is meant as an encouragement for you to improve
Debian where you think it lacks.
