All right. I understand the problem. But the directories removed by the
postrm/purge are normaly only used :
- by user, to upload datas related to his spip installation,
- by spip himself, to store cache informations,
- by spip himself, for log or backups.

So, I cannot have any informations on who and why there are files in
tese directories. I just cannot imagine why people wuold store files not
related to spip here.

(notice that i only delete these files on a purge operation).
