Cleaner overlays; unless we say com.ubuntu.gallery and
com.ubuntu.camera are mandatory; it should be easy for a vendor to
provide com.vendor.gallery and com.vendor.camera instead.

I can be a stone age manager and want to build a customization for my
enterprise with no games on it by default is another thing I can think
of :-)

So instead of 'uninstalling/unregistering' them from the default
image; it would just not be installed.

cjwatson mention that this is really not necessary; but I still wanted
to explore the alternative.
