That change looks pretty reasonable to me, though maybe you want to
delete ${localstatedir}/lib/scrollkeeper itself (and its parents, if
they're empty) as well as the contents of the directory.

In the longer term I guess we should figure out a general-purpose
solution to all this scrollkeeper stuff.  I see that some packages are
configuring themselves --disable-scrollkeeper, others seem to be
patching the scrollkeeper bits out of their configure scripts and yet
others (notably empathy) have, effectively, a local copy of the bits
you've just removed from gnome.bbclass.
