If you did something in that directory to create the files
(like run make depend), then yes, files shall be left over, and you
should manually delete them.
I had thought of having the postrm remove the dir on purge,
but that seemed a trifle too risky; the postinst in that case would
be making assumptions it has no right to make (namely, that it is
safe to delete those files).

Not unless the libc dependency changes.
