prevent nuget package modifications

Sometimes, packages like to modify my web.config, add references I don't really need, or implement stuff like WebActivator and hook my Application_Start (where I actually handle that somehow else, like using an IoC container.

How can I prevent this behavior?

NuGet Package Manager doesn't really support this scenario but one way to do would be to use nuget.exe instead.

Package installation through nuget.exe simply extracts files to a location. It doesn't modify the project files or references. The downside is that you'll have to manually add references, content and other config changes that are normally required.
