Bug#34589: dpkg: prerm purge call, perhaps
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.34
Severity: wishlist
I think it might be nice if the prerm script were to be called with a
"purge" argument before the conffiles are removed during the purge
phase of package removal. I have a use for such a facility.
(This would come immediately before step 5 in section 6.5 of the
Packaging Manual.)
