Hello Thomas,

It seems to me your primary issue is that xdg-user-dirs was installed by 
default and/or without your consent. Rather than blame the software for 
existing, it may make much more sense to talk to your distribution 
maintainers (debian in this case), and ask them to remove the package 
from a default install, or from the repositories entirely.
