Bug#382776: xfs: upgrading from sarge, then purging, leaves /etc/X11/fs/xfs.options

[Lars Wirzenius <liw@iki.fi>]

Package: xfs
Version: 1:1.0.1-5

When testing xfs with piuparts, we get the following error:

2m11.6s ERROR: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/X11
    owned by: x11-common, xfs
  /etc/X11/fs
    owned by: xfs
  /etc/X11/fs/xfs.options

This happens when upgrading from sarge to etch to sid, and then removing
and purging the package. The full piuparts log file is at:

http://piuparts.cs.helsinki.fi/bugged/xfs_1:1.0.1-5.log

I haven't studied the package in detail, but just in case a guess is
good: perhaps a previous version of the package contained the
xfs.options conffile, and a newer one no longer does? If so, you may
have hit the dpkg feature where it won't remove the conffile from disk
in this case, and you need to do it manually from package maintainer
scripts, if removing is the right thing to do.
