Summary and Info:
This is a feature request for user-wide packages.

Use Cases:
1. Managing your config with holocm-like packages
2. Installing packages without root privileges on a shared system
3. Principle of least privilege (For example: firefox or thunderbird should not require root privileges

Such a feature would have e.g. a --user flag (and a shortflag too, although I can't think of any straightforward examples)

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A
