Mainly because it means that we're more likely to move it between separate filesystems and thus increase the chances of problems. It also makes it more complicated to handle in dpkg-maintscript-helper (at least if we want to keep the intermediate storage place relatively cruft-free). But the downsides of not doing it are also important so I'm not set on it. I'd consider merging a patch which does it properly. > As for my case (gnome-keyring), I currently see three options: > a/ don't bother cleaning up /etc/pkcs11 > b/ don't use dpkg-maintscripts-helpers, clean up the obsolete conffiles > in preinst (using [2]) and let dpkg remove the empty dir > c/ use dpkg-maintscript-helpers and remove the directory in postinst, > while guarding the rmdir with a dpkg -S check > > Do you have another, better idea? What would be your recommendation? I don't have any better idea right now.
