That turned out to be not so simple, and there's no established way to deal with such a situation. Indeed, manually upgrading autofs5 will let you to purge it. But in order to allow this purging automatically in this situation, I had to remove autofs5's postrm script in autofs postinst. All Breaks/Replaces in the control file are already present, but they don't work for a package which isn't installed but with only config files left, like in this our case. > I'll fix this in the next upload.
