Right, when purge is called.

Good point.  The rm on purge was added before the sudo-ldap package was
created, and I didn't think about this potential conflict over the
sudoers file.

On a running system, you're right.  However, debian-installer uses sudo,
and LDAP support adds 9 additional shared libraries to the dependencies,
which was deemed unacceptable.  See bug #344034 for details if you care.

I'll ponder a bit tonight and see if I can come up with a good solution.
