I think that the master pages to keep are those that have been modified by the
user.  Everything else, especially unmodified master pages from templates, can
be re-created easily.  Loosing your own changes is the problem, even when these
master pages are not currently in use.

So, in order to automatically and silently delete a master page we have to be
able to detect a given master page that 
a) it originated from a template (otherwise it very likely has been created by
the user and therefore must not be deleted) and that
b) it was not modified.

I think that a) can be solved by checking the layout name of the master page and
comparing that to the list of known templates.

One solution for b) is to wait for notifications of modifications.  I you get
one for a master page that comes from a template, then mark that master page as
precious.

Master pages that do not come from templates are marked as precious right away.
Precious master pages are then deleted only on explicit user request.

Regarding the dialog: well, I don't like it.  Such a dialog basically says that
the developers were not able to come up with a technical solution and therefore
have to bother the user to make that decision.  I am not yet willing to accept
that we can not come up with a solution that is good enough  :-)
