Ok, didn't think of this and this is not a Debian package.

For Debian packages I wouldn't worry too much though, since I doubt 
there are any cases except daemons that do this (transmission-daemon and 
I think also cups will alter their own config files in /etc), and these 
will be shut down by dpkg on purge anyway.

Kind regards,
Andrei
