What's the point of having nonempty XDG_ variables in ebuilds?

Use of these variables is scoped to user applications that use these in
runtime, therefore I see no business for them in package
(de)installation and it should be ok for portage to unset the variables
and if application is using these during build/install (in system
context) it's a problem with the application.
