Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

= What led up to the situation? =

Attempting to reinstall 'chrony' package due to my misapplied file 
ownership and permission settings toward /run/chrony and /etc/chrony/

= What exactly did you do (or not do) that was ineffective =

I ran:

  apt purge chrony

And found all my customized chrony drop-in configuration files in
/etc/chrony/conf.d subdirectory having been deleted by the purge
as well.

I was half-expecting the purge only to delete what they installed
and to let me know that some 'straggling' files were left behind
as the dpkg usually do.


= What was the outcome of this action? =

Lost all my customized settings.  Of course, I had backup; 
but is this really expected of 'purge'?


= What outcome did you expect instead? =

I kinda expected my customized drop-in config files under
/etc/chrony/conf.d to remain intact (or at least renamed 
at the next occurance of 'apt install chrony' time.
