There is a package called "cruft" that compares the contents
of your system with the things that dpkg has in its database.
Files generated dynamically during postinst's don't appear in
the dpkg database, so these may be false alarms, but, anyway,
I think that cruft is at least a good way to find which files
shuldn't be there in the first place.
And oh, please, do contribute the reports of bugs back to
packagers. Let's be part of the QA of Debian.
Hope this helps, Roger...
