Hi,
this is an intentional behaviour. Configuration files in your home directory
will never be removed by the package manager of your choice. Debian does not
tamper with your user configuration. This affects all packages and not just
xarchiver.
If you don't want to remove your user configuration by hand, you can use
applications like
Bleachbit which will take care of it. I'm sure there exists other software like
that.
In general it won't hurt much to keep those files around.
Thus everything works as intended and i'm closing this bug report now.
Regards,
Markus
