Yes. It works in a similar way to gconf - package provides raw files,
runs that app to register them in the database. Ofcourse, the
workaround for gconf is nowhere near as neat (since to register gconf
schemas, the install scripts use gconftool-2, which is also useful to
non-package users).

In general, I can't see it being a problem - the only real danger is
from malicious scripts updating Scrollkeeper, which isn't realy a
worry (there's no real damage to be done there).

I had already trashed it.

You shouldn't need to.  I tried this my first time around, and I
actually ended up having a few more problems than what I've had this
time (mostly because I ended up with an unmanagable mess). Unless
there's some specific reason to prevent other packages installing
stuff into GNOME, making a few install dirs should be enough.
