Yes, due to handling of a new binary package that you had migrated into
bullseye the day before that wasn't allowed anymore exactly to avoid
this class of bugs.

And now you don't purge the configuration and logs at all. Policy isn't
totally clear on this (the text is lightly ambiguous), but *I* expect
purging to remove my configuration and logs, what else is the delta
between removal and purging? However, I'm wondering if I want you to fix
that at this moment at the risk of not getting it right. However, I
think you're current message is confusing though and needs improvement:
1) it doesn't mention the configuration file(s)
2) it doesn't mention that the log is shared with that other
(potentially installed) package. There's context missing here for
sysadmins of why you're not doing it in the package. What happens if
somebody just did exactly as told and deleted the log directory?

Highly confusing, don't you think, for something that's not at all
automatically added.
