There is not, of course. Things installed by a package, must be removed, when purging it. In case of sgml-base, a few directories installed by the package are removed on purge, if they are empty. That is correct behaviour. In case of the /usr/local/share directory - well, sgml-base shouldn't remove this directory even if it's empty. The directory is usually installed/created by the base-files package and should therfore only be removed by base-files itself. So the next version of sgml-base won't remove /usr/local/share, but the directories inside /usr/local/share, that are created by sgml-base.
