Hi,

during a test of the gnome-pie package with piuparts I noticed
your package left unowned directories on the system after purge,
which is a violation of policy 6.8:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

The maintainer scripts create (and later remove) a file in that
directory. Manual directory removal may be not appropriate as this
directory is shared between several packages.

If the package would ship this as an empty directory, dpkg would take
care of the creation and removal (if it's empty).

The removal order here was:
  - gnome-pie (the last owner of that directory)
  - bamfdaemon (which removed bamf.index too late)


>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m45.0s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /usr/share/applications/       owned by: gnome-pie


I'll set affects/found in gnome-pie on this bug to allow automatic
detection and classification by piuparts-analyze.


cheers,

Andreas
