Here's my understanding:

 /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/<package>

is called either when you remove said package, or when you remove
an Emacs flavour.  So when you remove Emacs-20.7 in favour of
Emacs-21.1, the script will get called and remove <packages>'s
cruft from /usr/share/${flavour}/site-lisp/

Right?
Isn't that okay?
