How to get dpkg to remove directories?

[grante@visi.com (Grant Edwards)]

I'm completely stumped.  I can't figure out how to get dpkg to
completely remove a package.  I've created a package that
contains nothing but two empty files:

 /etc/foo/config
 /etc/foo/bar

The first is a conffile, the second isn't.

Doing dpkg -i followed by dpkg --purge leaves the /etc/foo
directory.  

Why?

Are packages expected to provide postrm scripts that go through
and delete left-over diretories?
