removal of package directories on purge, and mount points

["Jamin W. Collins" <jcollins@asgardsrealm.net>]

I know there's been recent discussion regarding package removal and what
packages should and should not remove when they are purged.  IIRC, one
suggestion was to use rmdir along with the --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
option to remove directories only if they were empty.  However, using
this will fail if the directory in question is a mount point[1].

Is there some graceful way around this?
