All minor modes should use a same value for a variable, either local
or global, to avoid conflicting each other.  If the value of a global
variable is changed, all buffers will be affected.  Carefully designed
minor modes will not likely do this for a variable that does not
belong to itself, so only the behavior of killing local variables
matters here.

Because many minor modes may be activated or deactivated in any order,
your method seems to be the only way.  But it requires checking every
minor mode, which is a lot of work.  :(
