hmmm when postrm is called with 'purge' it should call
db_purge, that's on debconf's tutorial IIRC

my postrm on penguineyes:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[~/debian/packs/prozgui/prozgui-2.0.4beta2]
[kov]@[couve] $ cat ../../penguineyes/penguineyes-0.10/debian/penguineyes.postrm 
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "purge" -a -e /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then               
     # Source debconf library.                                                       . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule                                                 # Remove my changes to the db.                                                  db_purge
