Package: webalizer
Version: 2.01.10-28

When testing webalizer with piuparts, I get the following error:

0m6.7s ERROR: Package purging left files on system:
  /var/www
  /var/www/webalizer

These directories are created by the .config script, but there is no
code to remove them when the package is purged, although there should
be, in my opinion, since webalizer statistics are like log files and log
files are to be removed when the package is purged, according to policy.

Also, the .config script has the following command:

  mkdir -p ${OUTPUTDIR} > /dev/null 2>&1;

This hides the error message, and makes it that much harder for the
system administrator to debug what went wrong. Removing the redirections
does not result in any messages in the normal case, but does show the
error message.

Also, part 2, using "exit -1" is a bashism, please use "exit 1" or "exit
255" instead, depending on which you mean.
