Isn't that a bug in dpkg-maintscript-helper? We are removing all the
conffiles appearing in these directories, and are not shipping the
dir anymore, too.
The problem is with dpkg-maintscript-helper (I guess) which makes
temporary files in these directories, and thus they are not removed.
I am not sure how I should deal with that.

If you have a good suggestion why not post a patch?
