If /var/log/binkd was empty during remove, dpkg already removed the directory, so it is no longer there when purge is run. Manually removing the directory in postrm purge should become superfluous with post-wheezy dpkg as there is a patch pending to retry removing directories after postrm purge may have cleaned up stuff in there. I'm attaching a trivial patch that would fix this for wheezy and will ask the RT for pre-approval. I'd NMU binkd if this is approved by the RT. Andreas
