Hello,
Wasn't dpkg modified in sid to automatically purge conffiles on
package purge? Or was I confused?
Anyway, I am not yet convinced purging those files is a good idea.
Consider the case where the sysadmin has modified slapd to reference
and use the hdb schema.
This means their ldap database will contain the extra fields.
Removing this file will break slapd, as not only will it not be able
to start anymore, but even if you delete the reference to this file in
slapd.conf, the database will no longer be valid (I am not sure how
slapd deals with this).
Anyway, I get your point about leaving behind unwanted cruft, but this
is also an important issue. The sysadmin may have forgotten that the
ldap schema depended on the Heimdal file before purging Heimdal.
Feel free to raise this issue on debian-devel.
Thanks.
