Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.3-1
Severity: normal

One may want to mark deleted packages as purge to get rid of obsolete
configuration files. But some configuration files may be common to a
package to be purged and a package to installed (this is the case when
a package is renamed). To avoid losing the contents of these files
(when the user has modified them), the actual purge should occur after
installing all the packages.
