Hi Giuseppe,

You can use the "DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE_REFCOUNT" variable in the
maintainer script to tell whether or not to purge the file - it requires
dpkg (>= 1.17.2)[1][2].

dpkg/1.17.2 changelog:
  * Pass the package reference count (i.e. number of present instances)
    to maintainer scripts via the new variable
    DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE_REFCOUNT.
    Closes: #681370
