What is the correct action sequence? When libpaper in i386 is purged
while in amd64 is still installed, is there any already clarified
documentation on how to act in those context? Should I make the purge
fails or should I just remove the package without purging the
configuration? What happen if, later on, the amd64 version is removed
without purge? Should I remember the old purge request and purge the
configuration at this later moment? And, in the opposite way, what if a
first request of uninstall does not require to purge the configuration,
while the second uninstall require to purge: should the second one
really purge the configuration or should it keep it because of the first
one requiring to keep it?

Bye,
Giuseppe
