"Always Delete" files
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add an opt-out post-prime hook that deletes overlay artifacts like /etc/machine-id. Maintainers are discussing implementation details but no labels or assignee yet.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee, and no formal maintainer triage despite two comments discussing implementation concerns (machine-id should be present but empty, warning users when files are deleted). The feature request is valid but needs proper categorization before action.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
Make a post-prime hook (that can be opted out of) that deletes certain files. Said list of files should be documented and static for any build base.
The list includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
- `/etc/machine-id`
- `/etc/passwd-`
- `/etc/shadow-`
- `/etc/gshadow-`
- `/etc/group-`
-
### The problem it solves
Using overlays leaves a lot of files behind that we don't actually want left.
