In a normal scenario, whenever we do: apt-get purge linux-image-
the corresponding: /lib/modules/ directory gets removed from the system. But I noticed that suppose installed some out-of-tree kernel modules and now when you try to remove the same kernel (for which you installed out-of-tree modules), I get the following error message: Purging configuration files for linux-image-2.6.30-1-test7 ... Running postrm hook script /sbin/update-grub. Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...

In the above output I am trying to remove the kernel 2.6.30-1-test7. I know I can explicitly remove the directory but I would is there any configuration file which prevents removed directory which have been tainted by adding some additional files/modules which were not part of the original package?
