Bug#751066: flash-kernel: debconf database not purged on package purge



Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.20
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I think the debconf database needs to be purged when flash-kernel is purged,
but it appears to leave the questions in tact after purge:

  # dpkg -l flash-kernel
  ...
  ii  flash-kernel   3.20         armhf        utility to make certain embedded

  ~# debconf-show flash-kernel
  * flash-kernel/linux_cmdline: root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 console=ttymxc0,115200

  ~# apt-get --purge remove flash-kernel
  Reading package lists... Done
  ...
  Removing flash-kernel (3.20) ...
  Purging configuration files for flash-kernel (3.20) ...
  dpkg: warning: while removing flash-kernel, directory '/usr/share/flash-kernel/bootscript' not empty so not removed

  ~# debconf-show flash-kernel
  * flash-kernel/linux_cmdline: root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 console=ttymxc0,115200


The following patch fixes this:
