Why? It's the job of postrm of corresponding package to remove itself
completly

(example from apache.postrm)
if [ "$1" = "purge" ]
then
    rm -rf /var/lib/apache
    rm -rf /var/log/apache
    rm -rf /var/run/apache
    rm -rf /var/run/apache_runtime_status
    rm -rf /var/run/apache.status
    rm -rf /var/run/apache.scoreboard
    rm -rf /etc/apache

    if [ -e /var/www ]
    then
        echo Website at /var/www has NOT been deleted.
    fi
fi
