Package: debhelper
Version: 7.3.15
Severity: normal

While examining piuparts log for one of my packages (xfonts-thai-nectec):

  http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/xfonts-thai-nectec_1:1.2.5-5.log

the error detected was:

---8<---
0m29.3s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /usr/share/fonts	 owned by: xfonts-utils, xfonts-thai-nectec, xfonts-encodings
  /usr/share/fonts/X11	 owned by: xfonts-utils, xfonts-thai-nectec, xfonts-encodings
  /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc	 owned by: xfonts-thai-nectec
  /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.alias	 not owned
---8<---

When checking the test sequence, this was what was done:
- dpkg --remove xfonts-encodings [not removed, due to dependency]
- dpkg --remove xfonts-utils     [not removed, due to dependency]
- ... remove other dependencies ... [not removed, due to dependency]
- dpkg --remove xfonts-thai-nectec  [removed]
- dpkg --remove --pending        [dependencies removed]
- dpkg --purge xfonts-encodings    \
- dpkg --purge xfonts-utils         > [purged as expected]
- ... purge other dependencies ... /
- dpkg --purge xfonts-thai-nectec [conffiles purged, except the fonts.alias]

The generated postrm for xfonts-thai-nectec was:

---8<---
# Automatically added by dh_installxfonts
if [ -x "`which update-fonts-dir 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
update-fonts-dir --x11r7-layout misc;update-fonts-alias misc
fi
# End automatically added section
---8<---

With xfonts-utils being removed before, the update-fonts-dir command is not
available. So, the script does nothing. And fonts.alias is not cleaned as
expected.

This also happens to many other X fonts packages, for example:

  http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/xfonts-100dpi_1:1.0.0-4.log
  http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/xfonts-knickers_0.0.1-6.log
  http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/xfonts-cmex-big5p_0.1-5.2.log
  http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/xfonts-terminus_4.28-1.log
  http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/xfonts-terminus-dos_4.28-1.log

And from policy 7.2, in the 'Depends' description:

  "...Note, however, that the postrm cannot rely on any non-essential
  packages to be present during the purge phase..."

It seems dh_installxfonts is generating postrm which breaks this policy.
