Right.

/me likes delete. But maybe we can still use your earlier idea and be
more explicit about that it is the database of the package:
[..] Then it will ask if you want to delete the ${pkg} database and
revoke the standard privileges for the user of ${pkg}.
Would adding one short line to the purge/delete question help enough so
that it is worth it?
If you no longer have need of the data being stored by ${pkg}, you
should choose this option. If you want to keep this data,
or if you would rather handle this process manually, you should
refuse this option. (Of course, t|Either way, t|T)his option doesn't
change your other databases.
